I think that I'm getting the hang of this lapbook thing! We had such a great time creating these Revolutionary War lapbooks. We've been studying American History this year (click here to see resources for the first part of our year) and have been immersed in the Revolutionary War for what seems likes months. We've read all kinds of books and watched movies, and this lapbook really tied it all together.
About half of the books in this particular lapbook came from the activity book Hands-On History: American Revolution. I guess we made up the rest. We had lots of fun doing the Declaration of Independence on the back page of the folder. (Note to self: don't leave 10-year old with candle and paper again.)
I love this site for making mini-books. For more lapbooking resources, check out this post.

I own the same Hands on History: American Revolution book. I was looking through it yesterday, to see if I could use it with our history program next year. I bought it for a dollar from Scholastic.
The lapbooks look great! Our oldest completed most of a Thanksgiving lapbook last in November. It's tucked away for her to finish this November.
How do you make lapbooks work for your family?

Jonam loves that poem; happily memorized and delivered it last year to boot.
He can still recite it.
