Hit the Books With Homemade Bookmarks
It’s National Read a Book Day!
My family loves to read. Well, OK; I love to read, which is what inspired me to help my kids make bookmarks out of repurposed Hiland Dairy Milk jugs. I thought this simple craft would inspire them to pick up more books and enjoy reading as much as I do. Guess what? It worked!
