We love book-time. We also love Christmas. And what combines both? Some easy Reindeer Bookmarks!

We came up with this craft after starting a Christmas book advent calendar.

Basically, you wrap up 24 books, pick up one each night and read it aloud. This works wonders for toddlers and preschoolers.

But if your children are a little older, they may prefer to read chapter books on their own.

In this case, you can just select one book that you like, get together every night, and read a chapter.

The perfect companion to those books (besides homemade hot chocolate!) are these adorable reindeer corner bookmarks.

They will help your children mark their pages without destroying your precious books.

Plus, they are an easy origami craft to try on Christmas.

It would also be great for class or church parties, or as a little stocking stuffer for friends and family.
