Right off I was impressed with this lapbook e-book. It is 97 pages long, 11 pages ofthat is the guide book, which itself is packed full of information.

There are 26 different activities to do and everyone of them has a different graphic and fold. The activities range from the usual vocabulary to the features of the different forests and some ways to conserve them. My favorite activity was to choose my favorite deciduous forest animal and write a fictional story about it. Even though it says this lapbook is geared for grades 3-6, all the activities can be adapted to younger or older children.

The only thing I could see that I didn't like was the waste of paper on the activity direction pages. The directions to each activity are printed on its each page and they are only a few lines long. More than 3/4 of the page gets wasted. I ended up copying/pasting all the directions into a Word file and printing that up. It only took 4 pages verses 26 pages.

I have been told that they are now going to be changing this so that the directions and the graphic to each activity will be on the same page. This will help with the cost of paper for sure. Come check out Hands of a Child, and all the wonderful kits they offer.
