ThePrincess just finished “Are You My Mother” lapbook that we found at Homeschool Share. This lapbook was based on the book of the same name and very simple, even needing to be a little more challenging for her, but it was a fun and easy one.
TheMiddlest is working on a dinosaur lapbook also from Homeschool Share. For the boys, we’ll work a lot longer on theirs and consequently will be a bigger lapbook when it’s all over. I print off all the material we will use, including the directions for my benefit. I stick all of the unused material, some glue, a pair of scissors, a pencil and the components that they complete in a gallon ziplock. When all the material is completed then I will put all of the pieces together in a lapbook for them.
Here are the outsides of the components we did in one day. Cut out and folded.
And here are the insides of those same components filled out.
TheOldest is working on a camping lapbook from the same place. I do the same as I described above, each child has their own ziplock and I put the lapbooks together when they are all finished. Here all the components TheOldest has done in two days’ work. I know it doesn’t look like a lot, but for a child that has struggled with fine motor skills this is pushing his limits. Today we did just the campfire component. He cut out each part, glued them in, and then copied the material that I wanted him to write onto each page. There are still 2 more pages to the “campfire steps” component, but he was nearly in tears by the time he wrote all of this, so we stopped and we’ll do the rest another day, then staple the little pages together and he’ll have another component completed.
