This amazing Daniel Boone Explorer lapbook is such a fun lapbook. It can go with a study of colonial period, American Revolution or French and Indian War. I have many more lapbooks on my Homeschool Lapbookspage.
Daniel Boone is one of the most famous figures in American history, a legendary frontiersman, hunter and explorer credited with opening up the area now known as Kentucky to settlers.
And I especially love this excerpt from a 1910 article by Genealogy Bank.
“He found more profit in the woods than in tilling the soil, and for months at a time he was away hunting beaver, otter, bear, deer, wolves and wildcats.
Garbed in hunting shirt of deerskin, with leggings and moccasins of the same material, and with powder horn, bullet pouch, scalping knife and tomahawk, the world afforded him plenty.
The bare ground or the bushes furnished him a bed, and the sky was his canopy. His skill with a gun or in throwing a tomahawk was marvelous. Of Indian fighting he had enough to satisfy.”
5 Benefits of History Lapbooks
But first, there are many benefits to using history lapbooks.
If a child learns visually, a lapbook helps to cement important events in time.
Hands-on learners grasp history points when they interact with mine timelines or maps placed in the lapbook
Because minibooks can be placed in any order in the lapbooks, they can be placed in sequential order if you want your child to understand events
Not all children do well with trying to memorize facts. So, by opening, closing, and folding the minibooks constantly, kids have an interactive way to relate to the historical facts.
Lastly, lapbooks can be as large or as small as your child wants. If the topic has several events or persons, create more flaps. If you want to focus on a narrow topic then your lapbook adjusts to just the right amount of information for your learner.
However, add some more facts about Daniel Boone’s life to your study or lapbook.
Look below for more facts because he was the ultimate explorer.
Daniel Boone Explorer
First, Daniel Boone, a famous hunter from North Carolina, opened up a road through the forest, from the mountains of Eastern Tennessee to the Kentucky River.
It was called the “Wilderness Road,” and over it thousands of emigrants went into Kentucky to settle. Boone, with others, built the fort at Boonesboro, Kentucky, and went there to live
In his long, adventurous life, Boone was an officer in the American Revolutionary War, a captive of the Shawnees, who later adopted him into their tribe.
Also, he was a successful politician.
It was said that when he died in 1820 that all of America mourned.

Facts and Vocabulary Words about Japan
Too, here are some fun facts about Japan.
Geography features and terms are Pacific Ocean; Sea of Japan, four major islands: Hokkaido, Honshu (largest), Shikoku, Kyushu; typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis and the Pacific Rim
Typhoon. A typhoon is a strong wind storm with winds in excess of 74 miles per hour creating strong winds and heavy rains.
Tsunamis. Tsunamis are giant waves caused when an earthquake on the ocean floor creates waves up to ten stories high,
Pacific Rim. The Pacific Rim is a great circle of lands bordering the Pacific Ocean. And the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, Chile, California, Alaska, and Japan are part of the Pacific Rim.
Samurai. A samurai is a Japanese warrior whose duty was to serve and protect his lord or give up his life doing so.
Japan lies east of China, in the direction of the sunrise.
The name Japan comes from the Chinese word ri-ben, which means “origin of the sun” or “land of the rising sun.”
Since ancient times, Japan had borrowed ideas, institutions, and culture from the Chinese people.
Japan’s genius was its ability to take in new ideas and make them uniquely its own.
Too, about 4,000 islands make up the Japanese archipelago or island group which extends in an arc more than 1,200 miles long.
Most Japanese people have lived on the four largest islands: Hokkaido (hah•KY•doh), Honshu (HAHN•shoo), Shikoku (shee•KAW•koo), and Kyushu (kee•OO•shoo).
This Japanese history book traces the story of a unique historical phenomenon: a period of 700 years--equivalent to the entire stretch of Western history between the reigns of the Crusader king Richard the Lionhearted and of Queen Victoria at the height of the British Empire--during which an enclosed civilization was dominated by a single warrior caste.
The historical narrative of samurai history is supported by explanations of samurai armor, weapons, fortifications, tactics, and customs, and illustrated with nearly 800 fascinating color photographs, maps, and sketches, including ancient scroll paintings and surviving suits of armor preserved for centuries in Japanese shrines.
Part of the acclaimed Book of Samurai series, which presents for the first time the translated scrolls of the historical Natori-Ry samurai school of war, this volume offers an exceptional insight into the weaponry and armour of the samurai era, as well as tactical advice for use on and off the battlefield.
More than 40 handsome, ready-to-color illustrations depict samurai warriors, the imperial villa at Kyoto, a Shinto shrine, a tea ceremony, a Noh play, a typical city street, a restaurant, music makers, more. Introduction and detailed captions describe Japanese culture and provide detailed information on art, government, costume, and daily life.

American Revolution Hands-on Ideas
First, we made a trip to Goodwill and picked up teacups (mismatched is perfect), some fall foliage from Hobby Lobby. and we picked up a lot of clothes.
As you can see in the picture above, our table decorations for the Early American co-op rocked.
We had different tables or stations set up for the following activities.
Because silhouette photos were popular, we had a station for pictures. Bring a lamp, and a chair, and tape paper to the wall for your little artist to trace their sibling or friend.
Of course we had to try different flavored teas.
In addition, we had other activities.
One table we had corn husk doll making and another table the kids made bead decorating or flint corn.
Additionally, we had a guest speak from the Daughters of the American Revolution who was “George Washington’s” mom and told us stories about him.
We learned George Washington’s favorite dance, the Minuet. He was supposed to be quite the dancer.
Also, one of the activities the kids loved the most was the Minute Man race.
Our co-op bought tons of oversized clothes and just like the Minute Man, the kids had a minute to change into them.
Remember to buy the clothes oversized so the kids can leave their clothes on. (lol). Then have them race for their teams.
