Kids will love coloring their own Thanksgiving bookmarks. These print-and-go activities feature cute Thanksgiving themes. You’ll love how easy and frugal this activity is to set up. Just print, color, cut, and enjoy!
I’m sharing how my boys and I will be using these DIY bookmarks and ideas for you, too.
How Coloring Bookmarks Became a Family Favorite
Over the years, my boys and I have had so much fun making and using coloring bookmarks for all sorts of reading adventures. These print-and-go activities are one of our favorite easy ways to boost creativity while making cute reading tools.
We love working on and enjoying sets for holidays, seasons, and sometimes just because. My younger boys have individual collections of bookmarks featuring Minecraft, Pokemon, and Super Mario. My collection features our unicorn, Harry Potter, sloth, and axolotl friends. It’s such a simple way to celebrate reading and add a personal touch to our books.
These Thanksgiving bookmarks are the perfect addition to our growing collection. And we hope you and your kids enjoy them as much as we do!
