Need:

1 and ½ Manila File Folders, packing tape, 1 brad, stapler and staples,

paper, crayons, pencils/pens, photocopier for 1 thing (other ideas at end if need to replace)

Directions: Fold 1 manila file folder in the shutter fold method. Cut a second folder along the expansion lines; so that a small edge can fold over the left side of whole folder and tape down --forming a 2nd and 3rd page out of the back of the whole folder and front of the ½ folder (see photos).

Cover:

I wrote Job 40:15 in pen on the picture and he colored it – glue finished picture to half of the shutter to facilitate cutting it in half before gluing second side.

Center page bottom – after reading Danny and the Dinosaur by Syd Hoff we wrote our own story (you can use my story paper)

Right shutter: After reading Dinosaur Days by Linda Manning, I photocopied the back page with the dinosaur silhouettes/definitions/days and made a “flip” book with the definitions inside. He had to look through the book then match the cut-out silhouettes and the day names to each page, thus putting them in order.  We glued the pieces down, then he would check (still with the book) if he had the days of the week in order (relative to the book) and we reviewed the type of dinosaur.

Can a dinosaur fit in our house?

http://www.nutritionexplorations.org/educators/lessons/chef-combo/chef-act-measuringdino.asp  I made 2 copies of the cards – 1 of cardstock that had the yarn wrapped around it, which we used to see how big dinosaurs really were. 1 on plan paper which we made into the book you see in the lapbook.  For each page we wrote if the dinosaur fit in our house and what rooms it would take up

3^rd Page (the ½ of folder that was taped on)

Did dinosaurs go on the ark? Then why are they extinct?

We used the brad to place the “what happened to the dinosaurs after the flood?” wheel onto the page http://www.homeschoolshare.com/docs54367/dino%20wheel.pdf from Homeschool Share’s dinosaur lapbook http://www.homeschoolshare.com/dinosaurs.php

On top of the wheel we cut out the picture from www.AnswersMagazine.com leaving a large enough left hand margin to fold over forming a glue flap – allowing the picture to hide the wheel but act as a large lift-able flap.  http://www.answersingenesis.org/kids/activities click on “Dinosaur Coloring” activity #10 currently
