About This Project

A 5–30 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — Scissors, Markers, and Crayons.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Your creative buddy says:
    "Let's stick together and make this one!"

    Step 1: Print the bookmark templates

    Ask a grown-up to help you print the dog and cat bookmark templates onto a piece of paper. Make sure the pictures are clear!

    Carefully use your scissors to cut out the dog and cat shapes from the paper. Remember to ask a grown-up for help if you need it.

    Step 3: Decorate your bookmarks

    Use your crayons or markers to color your dog and cat bookmarks. Make them as colorful and unique as you like!

    Step 4: Use your new bookmarks

    Now your dog and cat bookmarks are ready! Place them in your favorite books to save your spot.
