The Ink Well Kids crew was at Bellevue Hospital to commence a March of the Robots! Using sticky shapes, reflective paper, a smattering of googly eyes, and heaps of imagination, the kids designed their very own rad robot characters. One boy announced, "I made a Medical Robot that helps people!" 🤖

Led by Event Director Micheline Hess our volunteers, Mike Burns, Joan Chiverton, and Timothy Savage, had a blast assisting the kids with their designs.

Our flower-powered event with the New Alternatives for Children kids was the perfect way to celebrate the spring blooms! 🌸✨

Each child designed unique bouquets from colored tissue paper and pipe cleaners, then proudly showed and shared them with their mentors, family, and friends. Then we gave them all their own art kits to take home and keep creating on their own.

Thanks to Tejan, Shelsey, and the rest of the NAC staff for welcoming us; to our Event Director, Lisa LaBracio, for organizing and leading this and all our NAC events; and to our dear volunteers Andrea Daquino, Pedro Delgado, Dayna Gonzalez, Stephen Kroninger, Stefano Imbert, Eleanor Rahim for bringing patience, positivity, and heart to everything we do. 💐

Special welcome to Andrea on her first Ink Well Kids event and becoming a new member of our team!

Pics are up from our heartwarming Valentine's day at St. Mary's Healthcare System for Children! IWK Event Director, Timothy Savage, joined our animation and illustration pro volunteers Dayna Gonzalez, Pedro Delgado, and Adrian C. Sinnott to help the kids decorate paper cards and frames with adorable scenes like love-struck SpongeBobs hopping through the sky, Elmos beaming, and Berts cooing about hearts and friends forever! 💕

It's such a joy to see the kids be so excited about the creative process from start to finish. And such a happy experience for all of us to help them learn a new skill or two 😊

Huge thanks to Blick Art Materials, who donated the scalloped notecards and cardboard frames. The kids loved them all!

Just in time for the holidays, we teamed up with the kids staying at Bellevue Hospital to help them make drawings and cards to give to their family and friends as gifts! Together we made reindeer sail through the skies, Sonic scream down the slopes, and Titan TV Man stomp around looking for his presents. There was also one sweet birthday boy there who got several cards made just for him.

Thanks to our Event Director, Micheline Hess, for coordinating such a special day; to our little elf workshop of volunteers: Dennis Calero, Timothy Savage, and Elizabeth Winter; and to the fantastic Bellevue staff who continuously work to keep the kids' environment as supportive, comfortable, and encouraging as possible.
