Things to Know

Hamburger Fold-Fold horizontally Hotdog Fold-Fold vertically

Dotted Lines-These are the cutting lines.

Accordion Fold-This fold is like making a paper fan. Fold on the first line so that title is on top. Turn

over and fold on next line so that title is on top again. Turn over again and fold again on the next line

so that title is on top. Continue until all folds are done.

Cover Labels-Most of the booklets that are folded look nicer with a label on top instead of just a

blank space. They will be referred to as “cover label.”

Folder 1

This placement key tells you the template goes in the first

folder at the top of the left flap.

How do I know where to place each template in the folder?

How Does I Use the Lapbook with Experience History Through Music?

Read a study guide and listen to the matching song. Then, do the booklet that

goes along with the lesson.

Lapbook Assembly Choices

(see photos on how to fold and glue your folders together)We recommend using Zip Dry Glue or Elmer's Extreme.

Choice #1 -Do not glue your folders together until you have completely finished all three folders. It

is easier to work with one folder instead of two or three glued together.

Choice #2 -Glue all of your folders together before beginning. Some children like to see the entire

project as they work on it. It helps with keeping up with which folder you are supposed to be

working in. The choices are completely up to you and your child!


Folding a Lapbook Base

Gather the number of folders required for the

project. Fold them flat as seen here.

Original fold line

For each folder, fold the left and right sides

inward toward the original line to create two

flaps. Crease so that the highest part of each

flap is touching the original line. It is important

not to let the two flaps overlap. You may want

to take a ruler and run it down each crease to

make it sharper.

Glue your folders together by putting glue

(or you may staple) on the inside of the

flaps. Then press the newly glued flaps

together with your hands until they get a

good strong hold to each other. Follow this

step to add as many folders as you need

for your project. Most of our lapbooks have

either 2 or 3 folders.

My child has made several lapbooks. Can I store all of the lapbooks together in one place?

Yes! A three-ring binder serves as a great place to keep your lapbooks. This method of storage

not only keeps your lapbooks from getting lost but also keeps them neat and readily available to

share with dad, grandparents, friends, etc. When you are through sharing your lapbooks, just

place the three-ring binder back on your bookshelf! Below are step-by-step directions of how to

prepare each lapbook to be placed a in a three-ring binder.

Supplies and Storage

Close the lapbook. Measure a

piece of duct tape that is as

long as the lapbook. Place the

edge of the duct tape on the top

edge of the lapbook. Then fold

the duct tape over so that it can

be placed on the bottom edge.

Make sure to leave enough duct

tape sticking out from the edges

to punch three holes. Be careful

when punching the holes that

you do not punch the holes in

the folder. If you do, that’s okay.

Then place in three-ring binder.

Depending on the size of your

three-ring binder, you can store

many lapbooks in it.
