Peacock Bookmark
In our house, we love to read. Each night the kids get to pick a book to read with mom. Sometimes it is the same book night after night, but other times we are reading 5 books at a time. This causes a bookmark shortage in our house! That is why we love bookmark crafts so much!
We love our kangaroo bookmarks and our mouse bookmarks. But recently, they spotted a peacock in real life at the zoo and became obsessed. Naturally, we had to make a fun peacock bookmark craft to make their dreams come true!
These craft bookmarks are colorful and have an easy-to-follow template that you can create and customize your very own peacock bookmark in the afternoon.
Kids will love making these and want to make them for everyone they know! This craft is perfect for a fun afternoon together to make these bookmarks as little gifts to give. These cheerful bookmarks will surely bring a smile to anyone’s face, and your kids will love to see them come to life.

Tips and Tricks
