POKEMON BOOKMARKS

Print these "home-made" bookmarks for a special reading companion. 

To add that extra bit of motivation, print out a bookmark for your child, your friend or yourself as a reward for reading a certain number of stories.  I add two new ones each week, so check back if you run out of rewards.

(This idea was originally submitted by "Tracy and Shirley")

Even if you have a color, you may prefer the b&w version which the kids can color in themselves...

Materials:

• paper
• printer
• scissors
• glue
• crayons or something else to color with (for b&w print version)
• OPTIONAL:
  • wool
  • clear contact paper

Instructions:

• Click on the link of your choice (below) to print the template.  Color as appropriate.
• Cut the bookmark out (one big rectangle) and fold in half (left to right) along the center line.
  
• Glue so it stays folded together.
  
• OPTIONAL:  cover with clear contact paper so it lasts longer (you could also put a piece of cardboard in the center before gluing for a sturdier bookmark)
  
• OPTIONAL:  Poke a hole in the top of the bookmark and tie a string/wool through as a tassel.
• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).  -- this template shouldn't be an issue as it's a bit smaller than some in the past.
