Mumbai, September 5, 2025: KidZania, the global leader in interactive edutainment, has launched a new creative role-play experience in partnership with Meetakriti Art Studio, founded by gold medalist sculptor Meeta Suraiya. The Meetakriti Pottery Studio at KidZania Mumbai invites children to step into the roles of a Potter or Artist, encouraging them to shape clay, paint vibrant designs, and discover the joy of transforming imagination into reality.
More than just play, the experience introduces children to pottery and art as real career opportunities across fields such as ceramics, sculpture, product design, and art therapy. Kids also learn essential values like patience, discipline, focus, and mindfulness through hands-on practice with clay.
During the role-play, young Potters will work with terracotta clay on an electric wheel, while budding Artists will decorate and paint their creations. An introductory video highlights the life of a potter and the impact of eco-friendly, mindful practices on society and the environment.
Developmental Benefits of the Experience:
Gross Motor Skills: Enhances muscle strength and coordination through clay shaping.
Focus & Patience: Builds concentration and attention to detail.
Creative Career Pathways: Introduces children to professional avenues in art and design.
Confidence & Achievement: Boosts self-esteem with tangible, take-home creations.
Commenting on the launch, Tarandeep Singh Sekhon, Chief Business Officer, KidZania India, said: “At KidZania, we believe learning goes far beyond classrooms. Pottery and art offer children a powerful combination of creativity, skill-building, and mindfulness. Partnering with Meeta Suraiya and Meetakriti Art Studio enables us to provide kids with a joyful, immersive space where passion can lead to profession.”
Meeta Suraiya, Founder-Director of Meetakriti Art Studio, added: “Every child is unique, and creativity is a language of self-discovery. Pottery and art nurture self-expression while opening real career opportunities. Through this collaboration, I want children to experience how shaping clay today can shape their future tomorrow.”
