DLTK's Educational Activities
Franklin Bookmarks

Print these "home-made" bookmarks for a special reading companion.

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.

Materials:

• paper, printer, scissors and 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.

Templates:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
