A few weeks ago I volunteered to teach a craft at the school party for Valentine’s Day. It was for my son’s kindergarten class and my idea to create Book Buddies actually was quite the hit! Read on to get all the details on how to make these fun DIY bookmarks.
Book Buddies Easy DIY Bookmark Craft for Kids
Children’s books are a big deal at our house. My husband and I love to read so naturally we are encouraging our love of reading to our kids. When I signed up to do the school craft, I wanted to encourage all the kids to want to sit down with a good book. I knew right away that I wanted to teach then to make a bookmark, but wasn’t sure what type. I headed to my local Hobby Lobby and saw these adorable pom pom creatures with the feet and the googly eyes. Instantly I knew that I needed to create a bookmark that had the little guy.
So I create book buddies!
