About This Project

A 10–20 minutes craft for ages 3–9, using supplies you likely already have — Yarn, Hole Punches, and Scissors.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Back-to-School Bookmarks

    Your creative buddy says:
    "I can't wait to make a project with you!"

    Step 1: Print your bookmarks.

    May need grown-up help
    First, print the bookmark pages. You can find them in the special PDF. Ask an adult to help you print them.

    Step 2: Color your bookmarks.

    Use your crayons, markers, or colored pencils to make your bookmarks colorful and bright! You can use any colors you like.

    Step 3: Cut out your bookmarks.

    Carefully use your scissors to cut out each bookmark. Remember to ask an adult for help if you need it.

    Step 4: Add a string to your bookmarks.

    Use a hole punch to make a small hole at the top of each bookmark. Then, cut a piece of yarn or ribbon and tie it through the hole. Ask an adult to help you with the hole punch and tying the knot.
