The news arrives after breakfast — they’re going to spend the weekend with their cousins. Mira squeals and runs to her cupboard, already planning games and secrets to share. Malar follows, calmer but just as excited, pulling out her bag and laying things out neatly on the floor.
They pack together, talking about what they might do, running outside until it gets dark, making up stories before sleep, and waking up early to do it all again. Mira tosses in an extra dress “for fun,” while Malar checks that everyone has something comfortable for quiet moments too.
As the bags slowly fill, so does the house with excitement. Packing becomes a way of imagining the weekend ahead — full of laughter, small arguments, shared snacks, and the kind of memories that only cousins can make.
Handcrafted with love by women of The Nilgiris, these garments are made from soft, upcycled fabrics and safe, child-friendly materials.
Dress Mira and Malar for pretend play that explores friendship, family bonds, and the joy of time spent together.
