Simple and Jolly Ways to Boost Holiday Reading Fun
Coloring bookmarks have been one of my favorite ways to boost learning and celebrate special times with my boys. Over the years, we’ve built quite the collection.

As I was sorting through our stash recently, I realized something was missing. We didn’t have any Christmas-themed bookmarks!
