Lately, my toddler has been sitting next to me while I’m reading. He takes a book, starts babbling cute sounds and even drinks his milk as if it was coffee like mommy. So I decided to make “reading together” a part of our morning routine.

We often read one of his favorite books that is El artista que pintó un caballo azul by Eric Carle. It's a great book for the little ones, all about color, art and creativity. If you are interested in this book, you can find a Spanish Edition here but there is also an English Edition here.

Of course, my toddler, being just two years old, can’t stay still and focused for more than just a couple of minutes. Then he finishes "reading", and he's ready to start jumping on the sofa or climbing all over me. So I discovered that we both end up closing the books without saving the pages.

Of course, it is easier for us to come back and find the pages in my toddler small picture books. But for me, it's much more work, as you can imagine.

To make this routine more successful, and be able to find the pages later, I had the idea of making two bookmarks. One is for mommy, because I actually need one, and one for my toddler since I knew he would love having his own.

Note: A few moths ago the site crashed and we lost all the PDF printables that we uploaded in the site. You can download the image above and use it for your projects. I’m sorry if it doesn’t have a great printing quality.

MATERIAL:

Days after making these my son had a fever and a cold and stayed inside the house for almost five days, so we were extremely happy to be able to leave the house on Saturday and Sunday to enjoy the sunny weather.

We even took some books and the bookmarks with us to the park. It was so heartwarming.
