If you don't know what a lapbook is, google it, and you'll find lots of information on lapbooking. Lapbooks are all the rage in education right now, and homeschoolers especially seem to love them. I have generally avoided incorporating them into our day because of the work and time that they take. Chloe, however, cannot get enough of coloring, cutting, and pasting. She cuts up every sheet of paper she sees and sticks it to something. If she isn't cutting paper, she's stapling it or clipping it together with paper clips. (Mmm... I think I figured out why my paper clip stash is diminishing.) Clearly, she has a need to do things with her hands! So, I have succumbed to the world of lapbooking---for Chloe.
This is the front of her lapbook on Sunflowers.
On the inside she has 2 simple flap books, lifecycle of the sunflower cards, sunflower coloring pages, and a color sheet of Van Gogh's "Sunflowers". She begged me to cut out her pictures, so they would look just right in her book.
