What you Need:

This post contains affiliate links. If you make any purchases after clicking one of these links, I will make a small commission (hopefully enough to keep me in tea all year) – at no extra cost to you! This allows me to keep creating and sharing free tutorials and content for you. Thank you!

I always print my printables directly onto 160 gsm cardstock using my Epson Ecotank Printer rather than regular paper, this way they are a little more durable and the pens do not bleed through to the other side. However, if you do not have a home printer then just pop to a library and use theirs.

Ideas for Personalization:

Kids can get extra creative by adding glitter, stickers, or even small drawings to their bookmarks. This allows them to make each bookmark uniquely theirs, and it makes the countdown even more memorable.
