Lapbooks are a great way to have a hands-on learning experience with your kids. Lapbooks work great with children of all ages. I always get asked two questions: What is a lapbook and how to make a lapbook yourself?

Lapbooks are generally made out of file folders. Using the file folder you make a few folds and you create a fun little “mini-book” of sorts. You then print out your lapbooking pages which will include fun hands-on activities such as pockets, fold up tabs, and more.

You can use lapbooking to bring a subject to life! You will be surprised at how much information is retained when a child builds their own lapbook on the subject!
