For the best quality, we recommend printing the bookmarks on sturdy cardstock.
Each page will print three bookmarks, each measuring 2.5 x 8.5 inches.
For precise edges, using a paper cutter is ideal, but scissors can work too!
Once printed, let the kids unleash their creativity by coloring with markers, crayons, or even watercolor paints.
If you want to make them last longer, laminating the finished bookmarks is a great option, especially if you plan to use them year after year as part of your Dia de los Muertos traditions.
These activities not only encourage creativity but also foster cultural awareness, making learning fun.
In addition to the bookmarks, kids will also have fun with our free Day of the Dead word scramble, which is another great way to build vocabulary and reinforce cultural learning in a playful way.
