These free printable safari animal bookmarks are so cute and colorful! They’re the perfect for the children and fun-loving adults, too.
Even if your child isn’t old enough for chapter books, they can still use and enjoy these bookmarks. My daughter (three at the time of writing) loves copying her Papa by putting a bookmark in her book whenever she has the chance.
My daughter specifically requested these safari animal bookmarks and picked out the animals she wanted. I hope your family enjoys her choices!

How to make and use printable bookmarks
Making your own bookmarks is easy. Here are the materials you’ll need:
- Paper and printer
- I recommend 32 lb bright white paper if you’ll be laminating. It’s sturdier than normal paper and has lovely images. See this post on the best paper for printables for more information.
- Cardstock is a better choice if you’re not laminating.
- Laminator and laminating sheets
- Optional, but highly recommended.
- Ink jet ink bleeds when wet. Laminating the bookmarks will help protect them from wet or sticky hands. It also makes them more durable, even for adult use.
- You can let your inner middle schooler out and “laminate” the cut bookmarks with clear packing tape. It’s not the same, but it’s better than nothing!
- Paper trimmer or scissors
How to print bookmarks
1. Grab your free printable PDF from lower down in the post.
2. Print at 100% size. The blue box is not around the page in your version. I forgot to remove it before printing my copy – it’s just something I use to make sure everything is inside safe printer margins.
3. Laminate first, if you’re laminating.
4. Cut out your bookmarks. A guillotine-style paper trimmer is better for laminated pages, but I use this Fiskar’s paper trimmer when my daughter is around so she doesn’t lose any fingers.
5. Read and enjoy!
