train themed Valentine bookmarks


In years past, I've made a lot of different Valentine bookmarks with them. Last year we did a fruit themed series and the previous year we made some animal themed ones. This year, Simon and I made some train themed ones, after his favorite show, of course!

It can be tricky to find or make Valentines that aren't made of pink and purple hearts and covered with lace  glitter. I tried to incorporate Simon's interests to make these bookmarks. If you watch the Thomas show at all, I hope that you can recognize all of these trains! The ones in the above picture are Charlie, Thomas, James and Percy. The trains below are Gordon, Duncan and Henry.

These are so simple to make. Start by cutting a piece of white paper into 6x2" pieces. Decide what trains you'd like to make and have your child stamp their finger in the paint and then onto the paper. Once all of the colored dots have dried, have your child stamp their pointer finger into some grey paint and then onto the center of the colored dot. Once that paint is dry use a thin black marker to decorate the train's face. Don't forget to add the funnel, buffer (use a red marker) and some wheels. I added a bit of washi tape to the bookmarks because I love it. And have to start using my hoard collection of tape. If you have any questions about the bookmarks leave it in the comments and I will get back to you!

Happy crafting :)

  2. Many cities have marathons, and many citizens participate in such events. Participants are almost all in sportswear. In this kind of high-intensity exercise, it is especially necessary to pay attention to sports injuries, and prepare enough to reduce the possibility of sports injuries. For example, when women wear sports underwear, men also need to protect their chests. They can wear tight tops and put on chest stickers, which are all for their own protection. Cost-effective brands workout clothes for men include NIKSA, and the NIKSA men’s series of clothing is specially designed for men.
