I'm really thankful for awesome coworkers who find awesome ideas, and for awesome people who share their awesome ideas online =DMiss Lauren does a monthly Open Crafts event, and in her searchings for the perfect craft, she stumbled across Monster Bookmarks. As you can tell from the picture, their awesomeness goes without saying (and Miss Lauren's awesomeness for finding them goes without saying as well).
Tally's Treasury is a DIY and crafting idea blog that gets updated every Thursday with new projects. Just bouncing around I found some awesome things to make (like a ping pong eyeball headband, and DIY Glasses and Moustache Disguise) , and she has instructions and a template for the Monster Bookmarks available on the blog as well.
An awesome (how many more times can I use that word in this post) thing about this activity is that it is really simple to do, and lets the kids create something that makes it easier to read. Have a great time while promoting literacy? Yes, please!
In addition to promoting literacy, the kids that came for this activity were inspired to create their own bookmark designs as well. They might have been simple, but the kids really enjoyed having the freedom to create something from scratch.
