It is during childhood that individual personalities start to form, so it’s wise for us parents to introduce our children to as many positive influences as possible.

Colorado Springs is fortunate to have so many wonderful resources that encourage kids to explore their crafty side, be it through discovering a new hobby or furthering existing interests!
