Summer is here, and with it comes a big list of books to read during the holidays.
Naturally, not all kids find that exciting. But there are many things you can try to encourage some summer reading.
Ideas like starting a Summer Reading Challenge, having a reading picnic outdoors, or making a fun craft like this, can help your kids pick up some books.
In this post, I will teach you how to make a Strawberry Corner Bookmark using our printable templates (that you can get at the end of this post 😉).
They are super easy to make and perfect for kids of almost all ages, as the only skills required are cutting, folding, and gluing.
If you are working with young kids, you can do the cutting for them.
We love this craft because it can actually interact with the books and features some cute berries. Who doesn’t like them, right?
You can use them as a last day of school craft, include the template with your students’ reading list, or simply craft them at home when your kids are bored.
