Encourage your kids to read with an add-a-bead bookmark.

Materials

• Beads

• Yarn lace

Instructions

1. Buy beads that your child will find enticing: letters that spell out his name, for example, or some shaped like bugs or animals.

2. Tie one plain bead to the end of a yarn lace, and have him use the lace as a bookmark. Each time he finishes a book (or a chapter, for lengthier tomes) he gets to pick out a bead and add it to his bookmark.
