Cute Back To School Colouring Bookmarks

With the new school term starting it’s the perfect time to give your kids a fun colouring activity to do. These playful back to school colouring-in bookmarks are an ideal way to kick off the return to class.

Getting back to school usually provokes mixed emotions in kids. A lot of them will be excited but there will also be a mixture of nerves too.

A laidback colouring activity can be just to the ticket to ease them back into the new term. Kids can decorate these however they like – with crayons, pens, pencils or paints.

Plus they get something practical to use at the end – a cool bookmark to use when reading.

There are three bookmarks for you to download and print off as many times as you like.

How to use the colouring in bookmarks

To get your hands on and use these back to school colouring bookmarks all you need to do is:

  • Download the PDF.
  • Print off at home – where possible use heavier paper or thin card for the best results.
  • Get your kids to colour in the fun designs on the bookmarks. They could do all three if they want, or pick their favourite one.
  • Laminate to keep their design secure and safeguard the bookmark for lots more school years to come.
  • Print off as many copies as you like.
