What do you know about quokkas? Well, this Printable Quokka Hug Bookmark Craft is the perfect opportunity to learn more about these guys!

You’ve heard of marsupials, and you’ve heard of kangaroos and koalas. But have you heard of quokkas?

Most probably not, and I’m one of you! Now that I know about them, I’m wondering how I was ignorant of what are probably among the cutest creatures on earth! 

Quokkas are marsupials found in Australia, and they have a ‘smiley’ face which gives them the moniker – the happiest animal of earth. Now I can’t think of a better title to have in the animal world, especially during these times!

So when you’re learning about Australian animals like kangaroos, koalas and quails, think about including the quokkas too. And if you need help learning about them, we’ve got your back – with a cute little quokka hug bookmark craft!

How to Make the Printable Quokka Hug Bookmark Craft:

1. Download the printable quokka hug bookmark template and print it out. The template includes the quokka’s head, body, tail, feet, arms, hands, ears, cheeks and eyes.

3. Assemble the head of the quokka by sticking on the eyes, ears and cheeks. 

4. Stick the hands to the ends of the arms. 

5. Then stick the arms on the body with glue, making sure the arms face inward.
