Looking for a fun and easy craft for a summer afternoon?

We have created an easy Saint Bookmarks craft as a fun activity during these hot summer afternoons!

As a bonus–this craft is a tremendous way to get kids excited for the upcoming school year because they can utilize these bookmarks in their school books.

To get started, you will need to print our Saint Bookmark Graphic below:

Once you have that printed, here is what else you’ll need:

• scissors
• construction paper or cardstock
• glue
• coloring supplies (pencils, crayons, markers…whatever works for your family!)

After you gather the supplies, use your coloring supplies to decorate the four individual bookmarks.

While kids color the pictures and decorate the bookmarks, you can listen to the audio stories of these four saints (click here to find the instant audio downloads).

Once your bookmarks are decorated, cut them out along the designated lines.

After cutting out the bookmarks, glue the bookmarks onto construction paper or cardstock. This will help reinforce your bookmarks, making them stiff enough to withstand daily use.

If you would like additional reinforcement for your bookmarks, you can also laminate the them at this point!

Now you have a handmade collection of Catholic bookmarks to use with your summer reading or save for the upcoming school year!

Please–share this blog with a Catholic teacher who might appreciate this craft in their classroom
