DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Scarecrow 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. 

If you're looking for Bookmarks with a different theme, check out our list of all the bookmarks available on the site.

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 tassle.
     
  • 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 or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
