I did this with my Sunday School kids, and it turned out pretty well! I just ran the bookmarks through the laminator afterwards to provide an extra bit of durability.

• Laminator
• Colouring tools (e.g., pencil crayons, markers, pens)

Honestly, there’s not much to it. You print, you colour, you laminate. The kids like having the power to choose their own patterns, and having a good template means that they’re almost all guaranteed to come out nicely. This one was left unclaimed after the laminating process, but I like the colours and will probably use it for myself!

I’m thinking that I might just keep a few of these black and white templates in my box of teaching supplies so that I always have a downtime activity for the students. Do you have a go-to activity to fill in the time?

Until next time, happy crafting!
