Mark My Words: Bookmarks

We promised lots of useable content this week, and here is the next free thing: bookmark ideas.

Bookmarks can come in handy. We normally associate them with longer books, but in our house they've been known to hold our place in a picture book . ["Mommy, put a bookmark on page 3, I have to go the bathroom."]

Kids like to use the things they make - and goodness knows they make lots of art. So why not create art for their books? They might even find an excuse to use their creation and pick up a book!

Bookmarks can be made of just about anything. In the days before craft foam, we used paper, card stock, and felt. Now, a piece of craft foam and a bucket of self-adhesive stickers make it easy to create bookmarks as a class project, as party favors, or just because. In this document you'll find links to places where you can download ready-to-go bookmarks and quick step-by-step ideas (and templates) for creating your own.
