I've just uploaded a new lapbook to my group, Homeschool Treasure Trove. It is a Thanksgiving-themed lapbook for early or non-readers.
It appears a bit on the plain side, but we're going to "decorate" ours with some clipart and images we've found on the internet. You can do what you like with it, but I will give you some ideas of what we did (are doing) to make it a bit more visually interesting. For each letter of the alphabet, I found a picture that describes the word associated with the letter. For example, for "C is for Corn", we pasted a few pictures of corn inside the booklet. (We found some great images of Indian corn.)
I also found a number of Thanksgiving-themed pictures to "dress up" the blank spots on the lapbook (in between mini-books. I'm going to have my ds paste some fall leaves and pumpkins, turkeys and corn sheaves to make it more "fun."
I found our images by doing a google image search based on the word (occasionally adding "pilgrim" or "plymouth" to narrow the results). You may also like to let your child draw pictures of the associated word. This is a great link for Pilgrim coloring pages... http://home.surewest.net/moseley/colorbook/colorindex.html

Welcome to my blog...Why "gidget"? Well...my husband tried to teach me how to surf before we were married. I was lousy at it, but he called me his "gidget" and the name stuck.
Why "Treasure Trove"? I love sharing about my sweet little "treasures"...and God has blessed me beyond measure....and no, I didn't mean that to rhyme.
