Hi, I'm Andreja from Easy Peasy and Fun — and I just wrote a book!

This activity is especially helpful for teachers looking for a quick, low-prep literacy reward or for public libraries wanting a fun, inexpensive handout for young patrons during October.

Because these corner page-holders require minimal supplies, just paper, scissors, and crayons or markers, they fit easily into a busy classroom schedule or a library craft hour.

Librarians and educators can pre-print the templates and let kids assemble their own little monsters, giving them a practical keepsake they will actually use in their books all season long.

I recommend printing these on heavier paper or cardstock, although regular print paper will work too (it just won’t be as durable).

Kids will giggle every time they open their favorite story and see their handmade monster staring back at them.

This printable set includes 5 Halloween characters: a ghost, a vampire, a witch, a mummy, and a skeleton.

And you know what? They also come in ready-to-color outlines and pre-colored versions, which is a perfect time saver if you plan on handing out finished bookmarks to kids.

What you need:

• printable template
• scissors
• glue
• crayons, markers, or colored pencils

Grab your markers and let the magic begin! Color your favorite spooky template and snip it out to kick off your craft.

Color your favorite Halloween character.

Carefully cut along the edges for a super clean shape. Sort your freshly snipped pieces into a head and body, spotting that handy glue tab ready for action!

Add a dab of glue to the top flap and press the head down tight so your vampire is fully assembled.

Slip your spooky little friend right over the corner of a page to keep your spot with a playful peek!

All done.
