Creative Inspiration
Celebrate National Poetry Month with... dandelions!
April is National Poetry Month. Celebrate by listening to the short poem "Dandelions" by Hilda Conkling. She wrote most of her poetry between the ages of 4 and 10! After listening to the poem, kids are invited to draw a picture of a dandelion and email to NIRMV Kids at nirmvdetroit@gmail.com. Include your name and age and you could see your art posted here!
Dress up as a book character, send us your pic!

Want to see your picture here? Just email the title of book and the character you're dressed as, attach the photo and send to nirmvdetroit@gmail.com with "Book Star" on subject line.
Send us your essay, poem or drawing!
When NIRMV Volunteer Darryl Simmons attended elementary school, he did an extra-special creative writing project called "Freedom of Expression," which included essays, poems and drawings. Get inspired to express yourself. Then share your creations with our NIRMV Kids team by sending them to nirmvdetroit@gmail.com. Your work may be posted on this page.
What does your favorite musician look like?
Your assignment is to carefully observe the musician drawing created by our Mystery Artist for National Inspirational Role Models Month in 2016. Then, draw a picture of your favorite musician or someone playing your favorite instrument, or print the Mystery Artist's drawing (PDF) and have fun coloring it.
