Hi, it’s Natalie here from Katarina’s Paperie. Today, I am sharing these adorable end of school printable bookmarks just in time for summer vacation.
They’re the perfect little gift for end of school parties, graduations or just a something for your kids to give to their classmates to help stay in contact over the summer.
It’s amazing that once April arrives, the end of the school year seems right around the corner. When I was a teacher, believe it or not this time of year was always hard on the kids.
Although they were excited about the upcoming summer holiday, they were also sad to say goodbye to their friends. Even though many of their closest pals lived in the neighborhood, our school was very big and many kids lived blocks or neighborhoods over.
I always wanted to create a way to encourage them to keep in touch with each other over the summer, but never was able to find the time in the end of year chaos.
Fast forward a few years and I finally designed a set of adorable end of school printable bookmarks. Each bookmark features a cute little owl dressed for graduation and saying “Owl Miss You!”.
Although I can’t use them with my own students, hopefully they will help your kids keep in touch with their friends this summer. My favorite part is that they are editable.
You can type in as much or as little of your child’s information that you want. What a sweet way to stay in touch over the summer break!
You Will Need:
Free End of School Printable Bookmarks
Embroidery Floss or Yarn to Match
Scissors
Hole Punch
1. Download your free end of school printable bookmarks. Using Adobe Acrobat Reader, add the contact information for your child. If your child is younger, it might be best to include your email address and phone number. You could also create a new email account for your child just to keep in touch with their friends.
2. Print out your bookmarks on heavy white cardstock. Cut out your bookmarks.
3. Hole punch the top of each bookmark. To make your tassel, measure out five 6 inch strands of embroidery floss.
Thread the floss through the hole and tie a knot.
These end of school printable bookmarks are perfect for a little gift to fellow classmates. You could even laminate them to make them extra sturdy. And who knows? They might even encourage some summertime reading!

I really love these but would have to put something else on them, maybe an email address ? I don’t think I would be comfortable with my kids name, address and phone number floating around… Which is sad. What a world we live in huh?
