Scratch Art Bookmarks (24 Pack)

Scratch Art Bookmarks turn a simple black surface into a burst of rainbow color as kids scratch names, patterns, pictures, and creative designs, then add a satin ribbon and use their finished artwork to mark their place in a favorite book.

Scratch, Reveal & Create a Bookmark They’ll Actually Use

Sometimes the simplest crafts deliver the biggest surprise. These bookmarks begin with a plain black coating, but every line kids scratch into the surface reveals brilliant rainbow colors hiding underneath.

Kids can write their names, draw pictures, create borders, experiment with patterns, add favorite sayings, or cover the entire surface with colorful scratch-art designs. Because the rainbow appears automatically as the black coating is removed, even simple lines and shapes produce bright, eye-catching results.

There is no paint to pour, markers to share, or glue to dry. The included scratching tools make this an easy activity to distribute at classroom tables, library programs, camp craft stations, after-school activities, reading events, and parties.

Once the artwork is complete, kids can add the included satin ribbon and turn their creation into something practical. Instead of making a project that gets tucked away after craft time, they get a personalized bookmark they can use whenever they read.

Each bookmark measures 5 ¼", providing enough room for names and creative designs while remaining compact enough to slip easily inside books. With 24 bookmarks in the pack, this activity is especially well suited for schools, libraries, camps, after-school programs, reading challenges, book clubs, parties, and group craft sessions.
