Want to learn how to make Santa Bookmarks for Christmas?
It’s very easy! In this post, I’ll show you how I made these cuties with my printable templates.
When you find yourself singing to the tune of Here Comes Santa Claus, it means that Christmas has arrived. And with that also comes my favorite tradition, reading Christmas books.
This year, inspired by that catchy holiday anthem, we picked How to catch Santa by Jean Reagan and illustrated by Lee Wildish. It was the perfect holiday book for kids who are old enough to have inquires regarding Santa, but young enough to believe he exists.
I used this book as an excuse to create these Santa Corner Bookmarks, perfect for the holidays.
If you are looking for a simple stocking stuffer or an easy DIY gift that kids can make, these can come in handy.
This super quick origami project is ideal for kids of all ages, as it only requires cutting and folding. Plus, it’s so easy that you can use it as a holiday classroom project.
Play your favorite Christmas song and dive into this festive craft!
