Today we’re sharing something extra special for all the bookworms out there – a printable fox bookmark! We have two free templates to choose from; there’s a clever reading fox or a cute hanging fox. Both of them would love to mark your page for you.

Not that long ago we shared some finger knit bookmarks which the girls helped to make. We need lots of bookmarks in our house, and I’d thought our swag of pretty finger knit creations would last a long time. Unfortunately, the dog loved them a little too much – seeing a soft little felt shape popping out of the end of a book left somewhere within her reach proved waaaay too tempting and we now have zero left.

Not to worry. I’ve designed some new printable fox bookmarks with far less dog-appeal. These cuties are based on the fox design in our woodland animal paper playset and printable baskets. Best of all, this printable is free.

You have to wonder though, if a fox were reading a book what book would he read? I thought long and hard about what book title to put in his paws.

Foxes are smart, so I’m guessing he’d have a shelf filled with books. There’d be titles like How to catch the Ginger Bread Man, The day Jemima Puddle Duck got away, Outfoxing Chicken Licken and of course there’d be all of his foxy favourites. Well known classics like Fox in Socks, Fantastic Mr Fox and The Fox and the Hound.

Decisions decisions. In the end I went with a made up title, The Very Clever Fox.

The hanging fox is my favourite. She just loves hanging out in any book, a bit like me.

The printable is designed so that when you fold it over and glue it together, it can be cut out to have a reverse side as well. It adds to the cuteness and also makes the bookmark a little less flimsy.

Choosing which fox bookmark to make is a tough decision! But once you’ve made that decision, here’s how to put it together…

1. Cut rectangular shapes out. Score the verticle centre line. Scoring the fold lines is not essential but recommended because it makes folding way smoother and easier.

      Is it getting caught in the spam filter, or a ‘promotions’ tab or similar? I just double-checked the form myself and it worked for me.

    I’m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glitter, glue and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website I’m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home – make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own. When it comes to crafting no rules apply!
