We just completed our first lapbooks and I can tell you they will not be our last! We loved them.  We did them on polar animals, igloos and penguins. I just checked out eveything I could find at the library and we read and read and read some more. What a great way to learn.  The kids did not get the idea at first but once all the things were done that were going into the books and I laid a book out on the floor so they could see what I was talking about they got very excited about doing one. They did the same items for their lapbooks but they got to plan where they would place them inside the book. Some of the books we used .

Cade plans his book.

Chesney is "Queen Messy Desk" at our house! I tell her everyday to clean off her desk, you can see how well she listens! Oh well as long as she can do her work, right?

Chase deep in thought as he puts his book  together.

Chesney proudly displays her book.

We enjoyed doing our first books so much that Chesney will be starting a lapbook on counting and Chaya will be doing one on Amelia Earhart.  (Chaya did not do a polar animal book) Chase, Cade and Chesney will be doing one for science based on a book called "Crawdad Creek"   I think we may be hooked!!!
