With Father’s Day coming up, we thought these fun monster bookmarks would go down well.. the best thing is – you can make any design you want.. it doesn’t have to be a Monster Corner Bookmark, but you could make an Alien, an Owl a penguin and bear… and lots lots more.. Make the basic Origami Bookmark and then let your imagination be your limits! We are actually going to make this simple Origami Bookmark in Pip Squeak’s reception class (4-5yrs olds) in a couple of weeks time. It will be interesting to see how they rise to the challenge of basic paper folding techniques. I know they will ADORE the decorating aspect. A super fun Craft for Boys and girls!
This is a great post to show how very versatile Paper Crafts can be.. and is the perfect Paper Halloween Craft for kids!
I also think that these monster bookmarks would be a great Halloween Craft and the Owl Bookmarks work really well as a small teacher appreciation gift or simple as a Back to School Autumn theme. So, though we are making them as a Father’s Day Craft now.. I think the possibilities are much broader!

May 22, 2016 at 1:07 pmWhat kind of paper is best to use or does it really matter?
Red Ted Art says
May 23, 2016 at 7:33 amIt doesn’t really matter. We have a colourful pad of paper of “printer paper” quality and that is great. I have also used construction paper -which can be a LITTLE thick for folding, but still fine.. and of course Origami paper works very well too!

February 16, 2017 at 3:12 pmDo you have a printable instruction sheet? I find making them pretty easy, but I’d like to have handouts for my students in the library that shows how to fold it step by step.
