Bookworm Paper Bookmark for Kids

Kids get excited when they have a fun bookmark. I know it helps make kids want to read. Since a lot of parents find it hard to Motivate Your Child to Read, any little thing that can help young readers, I want to try.

Are These Only Bookmarks for Kids

Absolutely not. I love how adorable these bookmarks are. They are creative and fun to look at. I have made several of these bookmarks that I use in my cookbooks.

Will these Paper Bookmarks Mess Up My Book

Not at all. These paper bookmarks are thin, only the width of a piece of paper. I don’t recommend putting the face, with the googly eyes into the book, but other than that, it will not mess up the pages of your book.

What Kind of Paper Do I Need for DIY Bookmarks for Kids

I like to use scrapbook paper when I make bookmarks for kids. That is because I like the pretty patterns on the paper. We have made these bookmarks out of basic colored construction paper, cardstock or white printer paper that we have colored and designed ourselves.

What Else Can I Use Instead of Paper for the Bookmark

If you do not want to make a paper bookmark, you can also make these bookmarks out of felt or foam. The kids loved making these bookmarks in all kinds of materials.

What Kind of Variations Can I do for Reading Bookmark Ideas for Kids

If you want to change up the way you are making these bookmarks ideas for kids, you can try:

Decorate your own: While we are using scrapbook paper for these bookmarks, you can also make them with plain white paper and color them yourself. This can be fun to see how creative kids can get with their bookmark designs.
Other materials: These bookmarks can be made from foam or felt. You can also use construction paper or cardstock paper, too.
Draw the Face: While we are using googley eyes for the face, you can also draw the eyes on the face.

Supplies

Small piece of cardboard to make a template
Small circular item to trace
Paper – You can use colored scrapbooking paper or white paper that can be colored
Scissors
Glue
Google eyes

How to Make Bookworm Paper Bookmark for Kids

Trace a small circular item on the cardboard to create a template. Cut out the circle.

On the back of the paper, trace the circle. You can make as many circles as you like. I find the best are 5-7 circles. I draw the circles on the back because then it doesn’t show when the circles are cut.

Glue the circles together alternating the heights, creating a wiggle in the worm.

Glue the eyes and draw the mouth on your worm.

Cut 2 small strips as antenna. Glue them into place.

Once the book worms are dry, it is ready to use.
