Books add color to a drab world, and a Rainbow Heart Bookmark adds color to your daily reading time! Make more of these to give out to friends & teachers!

“Books are a uniquely portable magic”, so says Stephen King, master of horror fiction. And guess where you can find magic? At the end of a rainbow!

Finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow may be questionable, but you can certainly find magic in a book. And we believe that it’s the best kind of magic, which deserves something special to mark your place – a rainbow would be fitting, don’t you think?

This DIY Rainbow heart bookmark is super easy for kids to make and is also a great way to learn about the order of the colors of the rainbow. This is also a great project for Valentine’s Day, St. Paddy’s Day or back to school. After all, there is never a season when you can’t use a bookmark!

We love making DIY bookmarks, especially when they’re as colorful as this! This is a great project for kids in primary school, and they can also try making these DIY Warli bookmarks, thumbprint heart bookmarks or these cute animal bookmarks. Besides exercising their crafty muscles, making their own bookmarks should also encourage them to read more!
