Origami bookmark series#
My oldest son made a whole series of these in different colours, then when he was doing some research he marked sections with different colours so he could quickly find and reference any information he might need. These origami owl bookmarks are a real hoot. We ended up doing this project together, and it was so much fun! I mean who doesn’t love an awesome bookmark? We’ve been making some great progress with his reading lately using a new program, so I thought this would be a fantastic project to help him embrace reading even more. My oldest never struggled with reading, he self taught at 3 years old, but my youngest has dyslexia and for him reading has always been a struggle. If my kids can read, critically and with a high level of comprehension, I know they will be able to do anything in life. I’ve always said, my biggest goal is to raise readers. I love these adorable little owl bookmarks! Inspired by our very own STEAM Powered Owl, these little guys are perfect for a kids’ project inside or outside of the classroom.
