5th September, 2025, Mumbai ( TGN ): KidZania, the global leader in interactive edutainment, has announced the launch of an inspiring new role-plays in collaboration with Meetakriti Art Studio, founded by gold medalist sculptor Meeta Suraiya. The Meetakriti Pottery Studio at KidZania invites children to step into the shoes of a Potter or Artist, giving them a hands-on chance to shape clay, paint vibrant designs, and experience the joy of bringing imagination to life.
This creative role-play is not only about play—it introduces children to pottery and art as real career possibilities. From ceramics and product design to sculpture and art therapy, this activity inspires kids to see how creativity can move beyond a hobby and grow into a fulfilling profession. By learning the patience, discipline, and focus needed to work with clay, children also discover values and skills that stay with them for life.
During the interactive sessions, young Potters will shape terracotta clay on an electric wheel, while budding Artists will paint and decorate their creations. A short introductory video will take kids through the journey of a potter and showcase how mindful, eco-friendly practices can positively impact the world around us.
Developmental Benefits of Experience:
Gross Motor Skills: Strengthening muscles and improving coordination through clay shaping.
Focus & Patience: Building concentration by working with intricate details.
Creative Career Pathways: Opening doors to careers in ceramics, sculpture, product design, and art therapy.

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 they can explore their talents and discover how passion can also lead to a profession. Within a few months, we will also set up another studio at KidZania Delhi NCR, taking this creative journey to even more children.”
Meeta Suraiya, Founder-Director of Meetakriti Art Studio, added: “Every child is unique, and creativity is a language through which they discover themselves. Pottery and art don’t just nurture self-expression—they also open real career opportunities in today’s world. Through this collaboration with KidZania, I want children to experience how shaping clay today can shape their future tomorrow.”
