My First Lapbooks

With the buzz all about lapbooking floating around cyberspace, I thought I'd share with you my first lapbooks that I created a couple of years ago when I first heard about these new things! I took some of the extra pages from our Pre-K/K workbooks that we were through with and put it all to use in a lapbook! You can do this too with all those extra pages that are too cute and too useful to throw away! Alphabet Lapbook This is the outside of my single file folder. I used scrapbooking paper and letter stickers. This is the inside. Very simple, but cute for little people to use to learn. I made a pocket with a brad for the tie fastener (ribbon) to keep it closed. It holds the laminated Alphabet cards from the workbook. This is an alphabet strip to pull out. Fun accordian action for your little one! Basic Zaner-Bloser Alphabet handwriting reference sheet I found online somewhere for free. Numbers Lapbook Picture from one of the workbooks glued on the front. This folder is not folded fancy, just left as is. Here is the first inside section. The page with the kids on it is a workbook page with a cute song on it and it is glued to a piece of  cardstock. Simple pocket to hold the game pieces. You also see a simple number line above the pocket. Cute game pieces from one of our past Math curriculums. The second section of the lapbook. A one hundred chart, another number line and one more cute page from a workbook with a cute number song on it. Underneath the 100 Chart are envelopes holding laminated number cards for a matching game. Another number line underneath the first one and skip counting to 20. I used scrapbook number stickers. So there you have it, 2 incredibly simple, yet functional and cute lapbooks that help the little ones learn their basics. I used everything I already had on hand floating around and needing a home in my homeschool land! It was a great recycling effort! I'm sure you all may have some of the same things lying around just waiting to be used! Oh, I feel so green! LOL!
