Inspire a love for the written word by creating an illustrated nature poetry book with your kids.

Combine your creative fifth grader's love of nature, art and poetry with leaf printing!

Your aspiring poet will be delighted to learn how to write limericks, which are funny poems that correspond to a simple rhyming structure.

Write a poem with a twist! Your child can write a poem that also has a secret sentence hidden within the words of the poem.

Not every poem needs to be about leaves and love. If your fifth grader is more attached to his phone or computer, introduce him to the apostrophe poem.

Spice up a traditional watercolor painting project with magazine cutout letters that spell out your favorite poem.

If you can make a list, you can write a poem! Get your child to practice their writing and expression with a list poem.
