Do your kiddos love to read? My daughter loves books and I hope she never loses that love. This week I am sharing 3 fun bookworm crafts on my weekly broadcast on the Crayola Facebook Page! Make sure to tune in every Tuesday at 1:00pm EST for 3 new crafts!
Shop all the supplies I am using for today's projects at Crayola.com
Project 1: Bookmarks
These fun construction paper bookmarks can be made into crayons or pencils and are perfect for saving a page!
Materials:
- Crayola Construction Paper
- Crayola Glue
- Crayola Markers
- Scissors
- Pencil
Directions:
- Cut a 8-10" x 2" strip of construction paper.
- Fold the strip in half.
- Cut the ends of the strip into a point. Leave it as a point if you want it to be a pencil or cut the tip-off to look like a crayon.
- Cut black wavey strips to the width of the pencil and glue to both ends.
- Write your name with markers on the bookmark.
Project 2: Book Covers
My daughter loves books but sometimes she is a little hard on them. Create easy book covers for storybooks and school books!
Materials:
- Crayola Giant Construction Paper Pad
- Crayola Glue
- Crayola Markers, Glitter Glue, etc for Decorating
- Scissors
Directions:
- Wrap the book cover with construction paper. Fold the top and side edges to slightly larger than the book. Glue the folds down and wrap the book around the edges.
- Decorate the cover. Have fun with glitter glue, cut out shapes or create a pocket to hold your bookmark.
Project 3: Cereal Box Book Holder
Instead of throwing away the cereal boxes, turn them into book holders.
Materials:
- Cereal Box
- Crayola Construction Paper
- Crayola Glue
- Glitter Glue, Markers, Crayons to Decorate
- Scissors
Directions:
- Cut the top corner out of the cereal box at a slant.
- Wrap the box with construction paper and glue into place.
- You can use glitter glue or cut out shapes and decorate the book holder.
- You can also turn your box into a piñata by gluing strips of construction paper fringe around the box.
This is a fun folder to store homework assignments or even art drawings!
