Color Your Own Cool Doodle Bookmarks (12 Pack)

Color Your Own Cool Doodle Bookmarks turn coloring time into something kids can actually use every time they open a book. Featuring six different detailed doodle patterns, these paper bookmarks give kids plenty of creative space to experiment with colors, personalize their designs, and make a reading accessory that feels completely their own.

Each bookmark measures approximately 2" x 7", giving kids a long, narrow canvas filled with swirls, geometric patterns, repeating shapes, and other eye-catching doodle designs. Children can choose bold color combinations, create repeating patterns, coordinate favorite colors, or make every section completely different.

The finished project has a purpose beyond craft time. Once decorated, kids can slip their bookmark into a favorite book, classroom reader, journal, or reading log. That makes these especially useful for literacy programs, library events, reading challenges, book fairs, classroom rewards, and any activity designed to make reading feel more personal and exciting.

With 12 paper bookmarks and six assorted designs in the pack, this is an easy low-prep project for schools, after-school programs, camps, libraries, recreation centers, and kids at home. Just set out the decorating supplies and let the doodling begin.

A Coloring Project That Makes Reading More Personal

Bookmarks are one of those rare crafts that don’t disappear into a drawer when the activity ends. Kids get the satisfaction of creating something themselves and then have a practical reason to keep using it.

The detailed doodle patterns also give children lots of small areas to color and personalize. Oriental Trading specifically recommends these bookmarks for classrooms, reading contests, and literature celebrations, making them a natural fit when you want to connect creativity with reading.
