Homeschool parents...do you make lapbooks? I'd love some idea links with photos!?

Question

My nearly 8 year old is starting lapbooking this summer. I want to start with Rainforests and maybe a book on Chocolate. Any good SITES where I can PRINT OUT already made pages as far as facts for ANY lapbooks?

Answer 1

We make lapbooks all the time - my son loves them!  I use the ones from Hands of a Child most often, they have ready-made lapbook units on both Rainforests and Chocolate.  They come with all the research, vocab, activities, graphics, instructions, and pictures, and you can get answer keys that even plan them out for you day by day.  There are also samples of every unit (250+ of them) with pictures.  Here's a link, you can get a free unit on Zebras just to see what the units are like :)  http://www.handsofachild.com/shop/Defaul...

http://www.homeschoolshare.com/ also has some units and lapbooks, but no samples or pics.  They are free, but you have to do the research and planning yourself.  

There is also a yahoo group for lapbooking at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lapbooking... - TONS of great ideas there :)

Hope that helps!
