Wanna turn this into a fun “first day of school” project? Give your students the materials and show them the finished product.  Have them work in teams to try and recreate the bookmark. Once they do, they have to write their own step-by-step directions for how to make the bookmarks.  This project gets kids thinking, working together, and practicing their writing. It’s a win-win-win.
