The Craft Center Erica Montgomery

It's more than just play!




Charlotte and her mom learn the excitement and challenges of opening a community craft center. When unexpected troubles cause them to close, the community rallies around them to reopen.




When creating, it doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't have to be clean, and it doesn't have to make sense. It just has to be YOU!




Crafting affects children in a positive way. Encourages self-disciplineBuilds positive self-imagePromotes eye-hand coordinateRewards hard work and diligenceFosters cooperation with othersCultivates the love of learningEncourages imagination




"Most of what you will create is for your enrichment or is a stepping stone to better, more insightful work. Maybe once or twice in a lifetime, you will be recognized with the kudos of the public, so in the meantime, create.
