I have been finding that I have too many half-finished coloring pages that I just never get around to completing. That’s why for this one I wanted something simpler – that I can actually complete – and more functional.

Also, as M gets older, I like things that he can craft alongside me – and while this is a bit complicated for him to cut and assemble, he had fun coloring some glasses too.

I added magnets to mine because I just love magnetic bookmarks.

But you don’t need to! The arm of the glasses can simply hook right over – or if you like a simple, flat bookmark, you can skip the arms altogether and just do the glasses.

I colored these using STABILO Pen 68 markers and these double-tipped Trio 2-in-1. I kept the color palette simple, bright, and imaginative rather than realistic. I also added my own design to the arms of the blue and green pair, as you can see above.

These coloring bookmarks have tons of room for creativity and fun. The quirky reading glasses design makes them look like you hooked your glasses onto the page – except it still allows you to close your book without breaking said glasses.
