Okay, I am really overly excited about this one.  I have been seeing posts all over my homeschool facebook group about lapbooking.  It seems that many homeschoolers out there are lapbooking.  I never really checked out what lapbooking was until yesterday.  Oh my, why haven’t we been making lapbooks?!   Someone posted a free about me lapbook so I decided to check it out. I then watched how to make the lapbook.  I was so excited that Alex and I threw all of our schoolwork out the window and went to town on our first lapbook!

I totally see how obsessed and detail oriented I could get with these but we constructed our first book in low-key manner.  Here is how it turned out.

And then on the inside.

The cute phone & address cards have the persons photo on the front and their information on the back.

Love how it is interactive!

Alex is super stoked and even attached a folder onto the back for his artwork.

Now that we tackled this lapbook I am excited to keep making them.  I figure a Halloween lapbook will be next.  I plan on creating lapbooks for all units of study!
