DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Insect Bookmarks

Print these "home-made" bookmarks for a special reading companion. 

To add that extra bit of motivation, print out a bookmark for your child, your friend or yourself as a reward for reading a certain number of stories. 

Even if you have a colour printer, you may prefer the black and white version which the kids can colour in themselves...

MATERIALS

• paper
• printer
• scissors
• glue
• crayons or something else to color with (for b&w print version)
• OPTIONAL:
  • wool
  • clear contact paper

INSTRUCTIONS

• Click on the link of your choice (below) to print the template.  Color as appropriate.
   
• Cut the bookmark out (one big rectangle) and fold in half (left to right) along the center line.
  
• Glue so it stays folded together.
  
• OPTIONAL:  cover with clear contact paper so it lasts longer (you could also put a piece of cardboard in the center before gluing for a sturdier bookmark)
  
• OPTIONAL:  Poke a hole in the top of the bookmark and tie a string/wool through as a tassel.
   
• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
     
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP in most browsers).  -- this template shouldn't be an issue as it's a bit smaller than some in the past.
