WHY CRAFTING CHARACTER
These aren't just books and plushies. They are tools to help integrate character. After reading one of the five stories in the Crafting Character series, kids create new habits with their interactive plushie by completing short, daily tasks for 14 days straight. They have a chance to reflect as they write down their tasks on accessories that attach to the plushie. Why 14 days? It's the perfect amount of time to keep kids focused while building new habits that produce a noticeable change.
Young kids are faced with all kinds of challenges, especially in this complicated tech-filled world. The goal of the Crafting Character series is to build a foundation of character for kids that will help them gain a clearer sense of self, liking and appreciating that person, and adding that awareness and confidence to their toolbelt to meet challenges head on with thoughtfulness, kindness, gratefulness, and empathy.
Did you know that each of our adorable characters has a favorite charity that we donate to? That's right! We practice what we preach and donate to the following charities that relate to our five character traits: Loving Bug loves the Children's Craniofacial Association, Charitable Chick enjoys the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Environmental Ed goes green for One Tree Planted, Patriotic Pete pledges to the Fisher House Foundation, and Grateful Gobbler gives thanks to Meals on Wheels.
RAISING GOOD HUMANS
The Crafting Character series is a 5-trait system of books and accompanying interactive plushies, for ages 4-10, that helps bring out the best in us. Fun for kids and backed by science and research, each set builds character by turning good actions into habit.
Each of the Crafting Character books allows kids to learn more about one of the five traits from the Crafting Character set. For example, Patriotic Pete teaches them about becoming good citizens and contributing members of their community. After learning about the trait through the story, they then replicate Pete's suggestions and carry out acts of patriotism themselves. Kids write their completed act on an included attachable accessory, which gets added to their plushie for each of the 14 days they carry out their acts. Watch as your kids proudly help Pete earn a medal with each of their good acts!
