Goal
Encourage creativity and help children connect with books through a simple, hands-on project.
You'll need
- Bookmark Template or Bookmark Template (With Holes)
- Colouring pens or pencils
- A favourite book for inspiration
How to do it
Choose a book your child has enjoyed and talk about what stands out — a favourite character, a funny moment, or a word they love. Print one of our bookmark templates and let them design it. They might draw the main character, write a favourite word, or decorate it with colours that remind them of the story.
There's no wrong way to do it. The aim is to let them respond to the book in their own way. Slip the finished bookmark into the book so it's ready for next time — it's a lovely way to make reading feel personal and owned.
