Materials needed: Hard paper (like pastel board or cardstock), scissors, glue, pen, googly eyes(optional)
Draw the animal faces on the appropriate colors (sorry these 2 pics are blurry!). You can also print these from free clipart online.
Cut them out (since D is still young I did the drawing and cutting for him but for older kids they would enjoy creating this whole bookmark themselves).
Cut some strips of paper for the bookmark.
This is how I presented the activity to D (2 1/2 years old).
He did the gluing and here is what we ended up with:
Variation: Instead of using googly eyes, draw in some eyes and then Laminate bookmarks for durability.
What is your favorite size of bookmark?
Hi, I just discovered your blog via "Her Cup Overfloweth" and I love it! Keep the great ideas coming, I can't wait to do some of these activities with my 18m old!
Very cute!
