Going back to school is such a busy time for kids, especially when that homework kicks in! This Bookmark Craft, simple to make, created in a pretty mosaic style, is a wonderful back to school craft that helps kids to mark that place in their schoolbooks!
What you'll need
- Pencils with erasers
- Poster or acrylic paint
- Construction paper
- Paper plate or meat tray
- Hole punch
- Yarn or ribbon
To protect your bookmark , have it laminated or cover it with clear contact paper before making the hole on the top.
How to make it
Cut a strip of construction paper about 2-inches wide.
Pour a small amount of paint, about the size of a quarter, onto the paper plate or meat tray.
Dip the eraser end of the pencil into the paint and then onto the paper to create a small dot. Be sure to press the eraser onto a damp cloth before changing colors.
Continue using this painting technique to make any shape or design you choose. You can even write your name!
Make a hole at the top of the bookmark.
Loop a strand of yarn through the hole and secure it with a knot.
