A booklet placement key is at the top of every booklet page. This key shows where that particular booklet will go in that folder.

How do I use the video with the lapbook?

First and most important, let your child watch the video without interruption. Your child can begin the lapbook at any time once the uninterrupted session of the video is complete. As you work through the lapbook, pause the video when it gets to the subject matter that is covered in each booklet. We make every effort to cover the subject matter in the lapbook sequentially with the movie.

Or, you may choose to let your child work through the lapbook after watching the video in its entirety first. The lapbook will take several days to complete, so you may want your child to watch the video again before continuing with the lapbook each time. The child that likes to watch the same video over and over may prefer this method.

What if my child is not writing yet or does not like to write?

If your child does not write or prefers not to write, we have answers boxes in the back of the lapbook pages that your child can cut out and glue into the booklets. You might prefer to turn the answer boxes into stickers by printing them on a sheet of sticker paper. In some cases, your child can even draw the answer.

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 booklet goes in the first folder at the top of the left flap.

How do I know where to place each booklet in the lapbook?

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

GLUE

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.
