Making Bookmarks with Kids

Bookmarks titled "The Cat in the Hat" featuring a colorful cat and rainbow on a plaid background with text "Making Bookmarks in Art Class".

Our local public library partnered with us to have a bookmark contest.  The kids in grades K-5 each designed a bookmark based on a favorite book.  We provided a template for them to compose their drawing.

The library will pick a number of winners to print as bookmarks for distribution at the library.  We’ve done this before at school and when the designs were returned to us, we chose other designs and copied them at an office store on card stock so we had some to pass out in the school library.

When the entries are all returned, I will also laminate them so each of the kids can use their bookmarks.

All of these were made by kids in kindergarten through 5th grade:

Three hand-drawn bookmarks featuring colorful illustrations and characters.

Four colorful bookmarks with drawings: rainbow swirl, cartoon sneetch, dragon in a starry sky, and girl in a blue dress. Ideal for making bookmarks as fun kids crafts.Three hand-drawn bookmarks for kids: "Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” “The Secret Garden,” and a comic strip with “Read and Write” text.

P.S.  I made these photo collages on this awesome photo collage maker I found online:  Fotor photo maker
