From friendly ghosts and playful monsters to magical witches and adorable mummies, each bookmark is made to bring a smile to your kids face.
Once complete, they make wonderful personalized gifts for classmates, friends, or grandparents.
Print them on cardstock if you want them to be more durable or laminate them once they are colored in.

Halloween Bookmarks
Kick off the reading fun with these classic Halloween characters!
My favorite from this set is the one with the adorable ghost, as it comes with a pun that says This story is boo-tiful. And since ghosts don’t need coloring (or maybe just a dash of pink for the cheeks), this one is perfect for even the youngest of children.

Your little readers will love coloring the ‘purr-fect’ black cat, the friendly mummy, the kind witch, and the bubbling cauldron of stories.
