Teacher Friendly Educational Extension

This printable bookmark craft works well as a simple writing and reading activity. Have children talk about what they want to be when they grow up and why. Teachers can extend the activity by asking students to write a few sentences to go with the bookmark or pair it with a read-aloud about families, dreams, or growing up. This also makes a nice classroom gift project for Mother’s Day or Parent’s Day.
