The Librio Forest Animals as Bookmarks: Colour, Cut, Read Away!

2 Minuten Lesezeit

Have you met the Librio woodland animals yet? The curious squirrel, the clever fox, the little hedgehog, and the wise owl are dying to tag along in your next book. To help them move in, we’ve put them on an activity sheet with four bookmark templates for your children. The animals are just waiting to be coloured in – and then to faithfully guard the right page.

Ready to Colour and Cut Out

Simply download, print, and off you go! First, colour in the Librio woodland animals. Then stick them onto card to make them sturdier, and cut them out along the lines. Finally, carefully snip along the paws and wings – that’s how the animals will hold on to the page later. And there you have it: a bookmark that’s all your own!

Ideas to Make Your Bookmarks Truly One of a Kind

Coloured pencils out and off you go? Absolutely! But with a few little extras, every bookmark becomes a very special companion. Here are our favourite ideas for little crafting pros.

Add a name: there’s plenty of room in the blank space – pop a name in it and you’ll know at a glance whose bookmark is whose, handy when siblings are reading the same book.

 

A home for every animal: the squirrel gathers hazelnuts, the hedgehog snuggles into autumn leaves, the owl perches beneath a starry sky. If you like, draw each woodland creature its very own little world in the blank space.

 

Capture a favourite line: is there a sentence from a book your child especially loves? Pop it on the bookmark – that way, it’ll keep them company on every new reading adventure.

 

Extra sturdy: stick them onto card first or laminate them after colouring – that way, your bookmarks will survive even the wildest bedroom adventures. Punch a hole at the top and add a colourful ribbon, and they’ll look even fancier.

 

A little gift idea: a handmade bookmark makes a lovely present for grandparents, friends, or a favourite teacher – especially nice when given together with a book.

And Now: Into the Book!

Of course, a bookmark has one main job: remembering the page where you last stopped reading. To give the Librio woodland animals plenty to do, all you need now is the right story. At Librio, you’ll find personalised children’s books in which your child plays the starring role – which makes it all the easier to keep turning the pages.

Three personalised children’s books from Librio: “Olivia & the Sneezing Dragon”, “Where’s Ava? My Round the World Trip” and “A Tale of Two” with Amelia & Tom.
