My kiddos like to read. I certainly try to encourage this.
Because they also like to play video games and watch tv.
So anything I can do, to get them wanting to pick up their book, I try.
And if making bookmarks helps, then I’ll do it.
This is actually a really cute craft idea that I originally saw here around Halloween time.
I decided to take the idea and make it Eastery.
It’s such a simple process…here’s what you’ll need:
- envelopes
- some construction paper: pink, white, blue
- a glue stick
- scissors
- a black marker
Certainly you don’t have to use envelopes for this, you could cut and fold white paper into a triangle shape and glue it, but I am lazy and the envelopes worked perfect…
Just fold the corner like this…
And cut along the fold so you have a triangle…
Then, using construction paper you will need to make eyes, a nose, teeth and some ears…
Glue everything into place using your glue stick and draw on some whiskers.
That’s it!
An easy bookmark that your kids can make on their own.
The end.
Love this! I’m a children’s librarian and this is a great spring time craft. Would you mind me using it in my story hour program?
This is a cool piece of art
