I've been sharing a lot of bookmarks to color. My younger boys and I have had great times with these frugal DIY activities. And I've really noticed that their enthusiasm for reading has grown!
They've been rotating between their Pokemon, Super Mario, and Minecraft coloring bookmarks. My unicorn, mermaid, and Harry Potter coloring bookmarks are in my rotation.
After recently watching the movie Monsters University (I love Scott Squibbles a.k.a. Squishy and Art!) for a fun movie night, I was inspired to make and share these delightful monster bookmarks to color!

Fun Ways to Make These Coloring Bookmarks
Easily take your monster coloring bookmarks to the next level by printing on white cardstock to increase durability. Another smart move is to laminate the bookmarks after you're done coloring and customizing.
I ❤️ our glitter gel pens for customizing my bookmarks. Colors really pop and the shimmery effects are so cool! My boys usually stick with fine-tip markers and color pencils.
Oh, and another easy idea for reinforcing the bookmarks is to use washi tape on the back.
Sometimes we use a hole punch at the top of the bookmark. This step makes it a snap to add a ribbon or piece of colored twine or yarn through the hole for an extra bit of decoration.
