![]() You can decorate it with whatever you like, though I strongly recommend adding the mouth to make the bookmark a bit sturdier. The mouth and tongue are glued on to the bottom half, and the teeth are glued under the rim of the top half. We’ve gone for a mouth, tongue and teeth.

You should now have a small square with the corners pointing up and down. Step 6: Repeat the same step for the top left corner. Step 5: Now take the top right hand corner of the triangle, and fold it down to meet the middle of the corner that is pointing down. Take the top layer of the corner that is pointing down, and fold it up to meet the middle of the top edge. Step 4: Lay the triangle in front of you with the long, folded edge at the top and the right angle corner pointing down. Step 3: Cut along the top edge of the folder corner, so that you are left with a folded triangle. Step 2: Take the bottom right hand corner, and fold it up to meet the left hand side of your sheet of paper. Step 1: Place an A4 sheet of paper in front of you, with the short sides at the top and bottom. I wouldn’t go any smaller than that or it gets a bit fiddly.Īnd here are the step-by-step instrutions… The smaller bookmark in the video was made with a 15cm x 15cm square.

Today we have a crafting activity for you, and since many of you won’t have had much notice, I’ve chosen something that you just need paper, pens, scissors and some glue for. It also makes reading more fun and even encourages those children that might be hesitant readers. Plus, we are creating memories and spending precious time together.Īnd it is just SO fun! Everyone’s creativity really shines and it is so cool to see what everyone makes and the designs they choose. I love simple activities and they often are the ones the kids love the most.

This is the perfect rainy day activity or when it is too hot outside to play. ![]() Since this project is so inexpensive, everyone can make several of these bookmarks.
