On February 6, 2026, Kinderland Cambodia transformed into a vibrant world of storybook magic, as students arrived dressed as their favourite book characters to celebrate World Book Day. The festivities began with an exciting catwalk, where children proudly paraded their costumes, embodying characters from beloved tales and setting the tone for a day dedicated to the joy of reading.
Students proudly showcased their favourite book characters on a lively and colourful catwalk during Kinderland Cambodia’s Book Day celebration.
In the pre-nursery class, the little ones explored the enchanting world of ‘The Rainbow Fish’. Captivated by the story of friendship and sharing, they crafted their Rainbow Fish suncatchers. Using colourful materials, they created glittering fishes that mirrored the beauty and message of the well-loved story.

Meanwhile, nursery students engaged in the delightful tale of ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’. Enthusiastically, they crafted movable caterpillar creations, bringing the hungry protagonist they read about to life. This hands-on activity allowed the children to express their creativity while deepening their connection to the story.

The kindergarten one (K1) students ventured into the deep, dark woods with ‘The Gruffalo’. Inspired by the clever mouse and fearsome Gruffalo, they made Gruffalo puppets using coloured paper and brown bags. These imaginative creations were all ready for exciting adventures.
A sense of wonder filled the room as K1 learners got lost in the mysterious atmosphere of The Gruffalo.
Kindergarten Two (K2) students set off on an enchanting adventure to Oz, inspired by ‘The Wizard of Oz’. Driven by the Tin Man’s pursuit of a heart, they created Tin Man sculptures with foil, embodying the character’s unique appearance.
