The platform has collaborated with popular celebrity influencers like Shilpa Shetty, Neha Dhupia, Rannvijay Singh, and Karanvir Bohra to launch the #CraftingMemoriesChallenge across India. To further increase the reach of the initiative, Momspresso has launched it in 10 vernacular languages, and has also invited 1,000-plus influencers to be a part of it, and share their videos and pictures on Instagram and Facebook.

I am concerned about what’s happening around us while we are hoping and praying for the situation to get better across the world, I’m also valuing and spending extra time with Viaan every day. We spent this morning creating these little love notes for each other. I genuinely value these moments. We are crafting memories, are you? These are challenging times. You too can take up this #CraftingMemories challenge and make this time memorable for your kids! . . . . . . . @indiacraftingmemories @fevicreate @momspresso #CraftingMemories #Gratitude #MomSonTime

Commenting on the initiative, Shantanu Bhanja, CEO – consumer products, Pidilite Industries Ltd, said, “We have always believed that arts and crafts can provide children the opportunity to fully explore their potential, build their self-confidence, and enhance their creative thinking while ensuring a fun-filled yet educative time, even when they are away from school. Given that kids are homebound at present for such a long time, we thought of launching the ‘India Crafting Memories’ initiative to help parents keep their children engaged, creative and productive, while crafting some beautiful memories together.”

#Repost @nehadhupia (@get_repost) ・・・ My coping mechanism during this tough period has been to put a positive spin on everything. So for me, being homebound means 100% time with my baby girl and I truly cherish it. We’ve been doing some fun things together, but making this memory book has been an absolute delight. I know there’ll be many more craft masterpieces from her , but this is one of her first and with it, will remain a million sweet memories. We are crafting some beautiful memories together. Are you? Take up the #CraftingMemories challenge and make this time memorable for you & your kids! @indiacraftingmemories @fevicreate @momspresso #CraftingMemories #LockdownLove
