This month's Little Makers project is a colourful creative adventure that combines painting, colour mixing, foil and a few sparkly finishing touches!
Say hello to our Foil Art Bookmarks Kit — a fun project where Little Makers can create four unique wooden bookmarks decorated with their own colourful designs.
Little Makers will mix their own paint shades, experiment with an ombre effect, draw designs with a special glue pen and use colourful foil to bring their artwork to life. They'll then finish each bookmark with beads and a tassel.
The result? Four handmade bookmarks that are perfect for keeping their place in a favourite book, giving as gifts or simply showing off their creativity.
This is a lovely project for encouraging patience, creativity and confidence. From choosing the colours to deciding what designs to create, every Little Maker gets to make their bookmarks completely their own.

🎨 What Your Little Maker Will Create
With this kit, children will make:
📚 Four handmade wooden bookmarks
🎨 Colourful painted backgrounds with their own ombre effects
✨ Foil artwork in patterns, shapes, words or pictures
🔵 Beaded tassel decorations

💛 Skills This Kit Supports
As well as being lots of fun, this project helps children develop:
🎨 Creativity through experimenting with colours, patterns and designs
👐 Fine motor skills through painting, drawing, cutting and handling delicate foil
🌈 Colour awareness by mixing paints and creating different shades
🧘 Patience and focus while waiting for paint, glue and foil to dry between stages

📚✨ Four Bookmarks, Four Designs!
One of the best things about this kit is that there isn't just one way to make your bookmarks.
Little Makers can experiment with different colour combinations and designs to create something completely personal.
Try:
🌿 A leafy vine design
🌀 Colourful squiggles
🌸 Mandala-inspired patterns
📖 A favourite word or name
Or simply let your imagination take over!
The foil is delicate, so this is also a lovely opportunity to practise working carefully and patiently — and remember, handmade doesn't have to mean perfect!
