Bookmarks and Activities for Kids


I love Jan Brett's children's books and illustrations. Here you can find some lovely bookmarks that you can print (and I would laminate them) for free. My favorite set is Daisy Comes Home. Or would you like her alphabet flashcards? Or bulletin board month? Check out all of her free activities! If I were a primary school teacher, I'd bake her cookies once a month.

National Geographic has a place where kids can create their own bookmarks. Click "Help" for clear instructions. Or maybe your kids would enjoy the Dinosaur Egg Hunt with information about where dinosaur eggs have been discovered - with pictures and links. Ancient Egyptian loved their pets, too, and sometimes gave them elaborate burials. This site goes on and on and on with activities and information and lesson plans for different grade levels. Just one more.

  6. I never have enough bookmarks! I don't know what I do, maybe I eat them or something. Anyway, fantastic links - I'm definitely going to be printing off my own bookmarks!

  7. Traveller - I have dozens of bookmarks, but often use anything that is handy. These bookmarks are so cute and would make great inclusions with gift books, wouldn't they?
