Make A Simple Bookmark

Description

After exploring children’s stories, make a quick bookmark from one strip of scrap paper and give it a visible top tab.

What to prep

  • Strip of scrap paper
  • Pencil or marker
Cost: FreeBest time: AnytimeCreates something to keep

Play guide

  1. 1Use a strip of scrap paper about as long as your hand. Fold the top down twice to make a thicker tab.
  2. 2Draw one clear symbol on the tab, such as a star, eye or leaf, so the top is easy to spot.
  3. 3Slide the bookmark into a book you are allowed to use. The adult makes a different tab and both test which is easier to find when the book is closed.

Success signals

The child makes and tests a simple useful object connected to books.

If it's tricky

If folding is fiddly, leave the strip flat and colour the top 2 cm instead.
