Printable Bookmarks for Kids to Color

August 15, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

Here’s a fun DIY school supply kids can do at home or at school if you need a little quiet time activity in the first few days of school. I’ve collected a bunch of printable bookmarks for kids to color that you can share with your class or encourage your kid to do better than flipping the book over to hold it open to the correct page. (Seriously, WHY?)

  • Cat Themed Bookmarks from College Life Made Easy
  • 50+ Printable Bookmarks from Parties Made Personal on tons of themes from summer treats to monsters, cacti and more — look for your classroom theme here!
  • Space Themed Bookmarks and reading log from Real Life at Home (pictured)
  • Scribble and Stitch has 10 sets of printable bookmarks with themes including emojis, food, dinosaurs and adorable animals
  • For older kids and adults, Hanna Nilson Design has mandala coloring bookmarks
  • The Craft at Home Family has some cute hand drawn bookmarks you can print and color, which you could also do with kids if you give them bookmark shaped card stock they can draw and color their own designs

Print out a bunch of options or choose a theme and let kids color their own. And then make some time for reading!

Pumpkin Sensory Activities

When my daughter was younger, she loved to play with the insides of the pumpkin when it was time to carve the jack o’lantern. In the years since she’s decided the inside of a pumpkin smells bad, but playing with pumpkin guts is a classic sensory activity that kids of all ages generally love.

Here are some more fun and easy pumpkin sensory activities to do at home or in the classroom, with real pumpkins or just pumpkin smells and colors.

Let’s start with a collection of pumpkin sensory activities using real pumpkins from Everyday Chaos and Calm. From pumpkin washing to hammering to painting, there are lots of fun ideas here (and this delves into pumpkin STEM activities as well).

If you have a kid who likes to play with pumpkin guts, you can take the slimy sensory factor up even further by making pumpkin slime that includes pumpkin guts. You can even mix it up in a pumpkin! Get the recipe from Little Bins for Little Hands.

If you’d rather have a slime that’s not quite so slimy, you can try this pumpkin spice slime from Sunshine Whispers.

How about pumpkin spice playdough? (I made some of this years ago when my daughter was in her playdough phase, and ti smells so good!) Another recipe is from Natural Beach Living, and this is a sensory activity you can use throughout the fall all the way through Thanksgiving.

And while we’re on the classic sensory substances, why not make some pumpkin scented moon sand, too? This recipe is made with pumpkin puree so it’s actually taste safe for those kiddos who always put everything in their mouths. You can get the recipe from Parenting Chaos.

For a different kind of sensory experience, try this pumpkin sensory matching activity from I Can Teach My Child. Just load fun things into orange balloons and see if kids can touch their way to matches. Or just do different sensory balloons for the classroom without the matching activity.
