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.. the the 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.
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!

Aw, these look like great little characters to liven up boring bookmarks. The green monster is my favourite as he looks a little bit like an angry Kermit!
Ha yes! Brilliant.. an angry Kermit!!!
I just made a real kermit! I’d love to share it…how can I?

What kind of paper is best to use or does it really matter?
It 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!
HI omg I lolve you so so so so much
I am in love with your boookmarks
Awww so pleased!!
Do 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.
Hi Megan, I am afraid I don’t! Sorry!
