Here's a magnetic marker that will be sure to stick on the last page you visited.
Materials
- Colored paper or card stock
- Scissors
- Glue
- Magnetic strips
Instructions
- Cut 2 rectangles (14 by 3 1/2 inches and 11 by 3 inches) out of contrasting shades of colored paper or card stock.
- Glue the smaller atop the larger to create a place for your child to keep a running list of the books he reads. Glue matching magnetic strips (sold at most office supply stores) to the ends, as shown.
- Fold the marker in half and decorate the front flap. (The football design shown is cut from brown paper and detailed with black marker. The laces are a couple of short lengths cut from the perforated edge of a sheet of spiral-notebook paper.) To use the marker, simply fold it over the page you wish to flag; the magnets will hold it in place.
