Spring is finally here, and what better way to celebrate the season than with a set of adorable free spring bookmarks to colour in? These printable bookmarks are the perfect low-prep activity for kids who love reading, colouring, and all things springtime.
From cute bunnies and butterflies to buzzing bees, flowers, frogs, ducklings, and even a sweet little snail, these cheerful spring designs are a lovely way to encourage reading while getting creative.
Whether you need a quiet afternoon activity, a classroom printable, something for World Book Day, or a simple Easter holiday boredom buster, these spring colouring bookmarks are ideal.
Why Kids Will Love These Spring Bookmarks
These aren’t just bookmarks—they’re mini pieces of art children can personalise in their own way.
The printable includes sweet spring-themed designs such as:
- Bees and honeycomb
- Bunny and spring flowers
- Birdhouse and birds
- Ladybird/Ladybug and leaves
- Rainbows and flower boots
- Watering can and daffodils
- Frogs and butterflies
- Ducklings and Easter eggs
- Snails, woodland mushrooms, and spring animals
Because the designs are simple but detailed, they work brilliantly for a wide age range.
- Preschoolers and younger children can use chunky crayons or felt tips
- Older kids can add shading, patterns, and even glitter
- Adults may enjoy them as mindful colouring too
A Lovely Way to Encourage Reading
I love any activity that helps make books feel extra special, and personalised bookmarks do exactly that.
Once coloured, children can:
- Use them in their favourite bedtime stories
- Gift them to friends
- Pop them into school reading books
- Make them as spring party favours
- Add tassels or ribbons for extra flair
These also make a wonderful addition to a reading reward chart or book-themed gift basket.
You could pair them with our reading printables, book scavenger hunts, or even some of our seasonal colouring pages for a full spring literacy activity.

These free printable spring bookmarks are ideal for:
- Spring classroom activities
- Easter holiday printables

- Homeschool reading time
- Rainy day indoor fun

Teachers could print these as a simple spring classroom welcome activity, while parents can keep a few copies handy for screen-free afternoons.
