How do you make easy bookmarks for kids?
There are many ways to make easy bookmarks for kids that are both fun and functional. Here are three simple ideas:
- Ribbon bookmarks: Cut a length of ribbon and tie a knot at one end. You can add beads or charms to the other end, or simply fold it over and glue it down to make a tassel. Kids can decorate the ribbon with markers, stickers, or washi tape to make it their own.
- Corner bookmarks: Start with a square piece of paper and fold it diagonally in half to make a triangle. Fold the two corners of the triangle up to meet at the top, then fold them down again to create a pocket. Decorate the outside with markers, stickers, or drawings.
- Popsicle stick bookmarks: Glue two popsicle sticks together in an X shape. Kids can then decorate the front and back with markers, stickers, or paint. You can also add a ribbon or tassel to the bottom to make it more fun.
- Papercraft Bookmarks: Gather up some of your favorite colored construction paper and check out numerous bookmark templates you can follow.
These are just a few ideas to get started, but there are endless possibilities when it comes to making bookmarks with kids. Encourage them to get creative and try different materials and designs to make their own unique bookmarks.
