Reading takes you places and now you can take that trip on a rocket! Make this bright and colorful Rocket Corner Bookmark with supplies you already have.

“Books are the plane, and the train, and the road.” This is how author Anna Quindlen describes reading, and you have to admit, there’s no cheaper way to travel!

Reading helps you navigate your way across countries and continents, from the comfort of your own home. And with today’s craft, you can travel beyond our planet as well – with the help of a rocket corner bookmark!

We love how bright and colorful this bookmark is, and it’s a great way to keep reluctant readers invested in their book. What’s more, all you need for this craft is colored paper, scissors and glue. Can you think of an easier project for kids to make this summer?

    Hi,
    The rocket corner book mark is very cute and your instructions refer to a template with 2 sizes of rocket. I could not locate that – just tons of fake PDF click ads! Was there a template I missed? Thanks so much!

    I am a library assistant and would love to include your template in our weekly craft video as well as a reference to
    your website. Would this be acceptable use?
    Thank you!
