PIRATE BOOKMARKS Print these "home-made" bookmarks for a special reading companion or for a great pirate themed birthday party treat bag addition. 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 color printer, you may prefer the black and white version which the kids can color 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.
