Crafty Bookmarks for Kids

By Kayla • April 3, 2018

In honor of International Children's Book Day {on April 2nd!}, we scoured the web for some cute bookmarks that will remind your kiddos of the importance of reading, commemorate the day, and, hopefully, add a bit of color and excitement as they embark on their next reading conquest! Here are a few of our favorites {although we're sure there are plenty more floating out there in cyberspace that we would adore as well!}.

FamilyFun had numerous ideas...
