Why it helps
In this activity, the child will work on developing his fine motor skills through drawing, cutting, and pasting stickers as he creates a colorful bookmark.
Let the child trace or draw a 3" x 10" rectangle (if you want to work on cutting curves, you may draw wiggly lines instead of straight ones). Have the child cut the rectangle out.
Using a single hole hole-puncher, assist the child in punching a hole in the top part of the rectangle. Then, have the child thread a piece of yarn through the hole.
Using the markers and stickers, let the child decorate the bookmark and make it colorful.
Additional ideas for decorating the bookmark:
1. Have the child crumble small pieces of tissue paper
2. Cut/trace a 2.5" x 9" rectangle with white printer paper, and glue onto the center within the 3" x 10" construction paper.
3. Have the child cut out pictures that he likes from newspaper and magazines
4. Laminate the bookmarks to preserve them!
