Lapbooking Resources

Doing a quick round up of lapbooking resources, I am hoping you can use this list as a springboard to creating a lapbook that your children may be hankering to do.

You know sometimes it’s hard to find a lapbook that fits exactly on the topic your child is interested in doing.

At times, I just turn to my lists that I have bookmarked so that we can put one together even if that means using part of something we make and resources pulled from other places.

Here is a collection of things I like and have bookmarked and use at times. Most are free and then I list some at the bottom that I have in my library, but they all give you a starting place.

Then of course Homeschool Share has a large selection.But be sure to check out their generic free templates that you can use for any topic.

Learn from the pop up pro, Robert Sabuda and make a cool pop up book. You have to check out his 3D dimensional books too.

I used some of these books when teaching language arts to the boys.

Plus the books get the creative juices flowing for ideas for any language arts lapbook. Guess what? I still have our pop up books.

It doesn’t matter what age you are, you can get lost in the beautiful intricate paper pop up books by Robert Sabuda especially when you start folding and moving the parts. These books are part of my “keeper” collection for our homeschool.

Hugs and love ya,
