This is the cover. The picture was colored by my 3 year old. Make sure to notice the spine of the lapbook! YEP, that is DUCT TAPE! LOL I have been trying to come up with some different ways of connecting our folders. I really like to sew them. But, I find when I show lapbooks to other Mom's they will often say "Oh, I don't have a sewing machine. We can't do this." Well even though I explain to them that I am probably the only lapbooker out there that sews our folders (LOL) they still look doubtful. Sooooo, enter Duct Tape! After blogging about how nicely it binds paper booklets I thought I would give it a try. It worked great and I am thrilled to bring two of my passions together! Lapbooking and Duct Tape! (Yeah, I know I am weird!)
Inside left folder. Picture of flying dino my daughter drew, booklets on Plant Eaters and Meat Eaters. Label the Dinosaur Booklet. (This was a little worksheet that had pics of dinos and then gave descriptions of them. read the descriptions then the kids had to figure out which one was being described.) (Logic skills!)
In the Plant Eaters/Meat Eaters booklets we colored pictures of different dinos and then decided which went in which booklet. Then we put info on each type of diet in the top of the booklet. The dino pics are just stapled together and then the bottom one is glued down. My 6 year old can really write better than this. Sigh...She was being lazy & ornery!
Booklet on Sir Richard Owens, How Big Are Dinosaurs, and a crossword and word search.
Inside the How Big Is a Dino booklet we had a little quiz that told how big a car and a bus are. Then you were told in feet how long each dino was. We had to figure out if they equaled 1, 2 or 3 buses/cars or less. (Math skills!)
We also have little blurbs on what is paleontology and fossils. This actually turned out as more of a review on Dinosaurs for my daughter. I was amazed how much she already knew about them! (I sure don't remember teaching her that?) Every time I tried to tell her something she would interrupt me and tell me what I was about to say! LOL Now that is the kind of student I want! Even when we did the word search and crossword she told me what each word had to do with dinosaurs. (Verbal Communication skills!) I almost felt like the student!
One of the things I love most about lapbooking really shined in this lapbook! I love how so many different skills are used while lapbooking. In this lapbook we covered Science, Math, History, Bible, Language Arts, Art, Logic, Geography & Verbal Communication skills! Excellent!
Here are all the FREE resources we used in our lapbook:
Hmmm...you just gave me a new perspective on lapbooking: kids working TOGETHER on one. I always have two going at a time, one for each. I never thought of having them work together. Perhaps because they'd very likely kill each other, but it's worth a shot. Oh... and the duct tape is a good idea too.
...for always posting great stuff.
...for being such a great mother to all kids.
...for posting the freebies that save us so much money.
and on top of most other things...posting this dinosaur lapbook that I want to use most of....THANKS!
We have homeschooled our children from the start and we love every minute of it! This is my place to share my thoughts on homeschooling, my kids and living for the Lord. All the while being a little outside the box!!
