HOW TO FOLD A LAPBOOK

Connor's lapbook is "All About Me" made from a study I wrote for him.  (you can see itused by this homeschoolblogger here)

He doesn't have a cover yet. Here is what he has when it is opEned...so far..

the sides are flap books that are his "what makes me mad, what makes me happy, what makes me sad, what makes me confused". The inside has a 4-flap on his favorites an a chart for his 'Now & Then"

  this opens to show what he wrote....

his 4-flap for his favorites....

 the flaps opened...

 this has a list iin the side for height, weight, hair color, address, car, price of milk, president, etc. The red and he green flap open seperately to show what it was THEN (the  yr he was born) and what it is NOW (this yr)

that's it for now for  Connor
