Meet Kerri
Kerri is a Montessori-trained educator in Southern New Hampshire. She started The Messy Table because she kept making things she couldn't find anywhere else. She cuts the cards by hand, sews the felt works herself, and tries every printable with real kids first. If it's on her shelf, it ends up here.
