The Story Realm

For this year’s book fair, Dadu, Children’s Museum of Qatar has created The Story Realm, an interactive adventure designed to unleash the creative powers of children as they become the authors and illustrators of their own captivating tales. This activity aims to foster imagination and storytelling skills in an engaging and immersive environment.

Children will immerse themselves in a visually stimulating narrative installation that sets the stage for their imaginative journey. The installation features pre-drawn elements strategically placed to ignite their creativity and prompt them to complete the drawings with their own unique interpretations. Once they have finished adding their creative flair to the installation, children are invited to reflect on their experience and choose the part that resonates with them the most – the highlight of their journey. This special moment will serve as the inspiration for their own personalised short story.
