I heard about LapBooking a few months ago, but had no clue what it was. Someone suggested it recently for one of my "hands-on" learners. I looked into it and we decided to start with a pre-made master for the Old Testament from Homeschool In The Woods.
It did not go exactly as I planned. Chris, my hands-on learner, hated the idea and Marly would rather read books than cut out paper. The one who latched onto the project first was actually Sam who is 16. Now my other two are interested in doing it after seeing the finished project. Isn't it nice looking!
Sam liked it so much that she and I are working on creating our own LapBook for the Book of Mormon. We decided to follow the Primary 4 lesson plans for each mini-book, which is easily found on the www.lds.org website. Our plans are for 3 LapBooks since there is so much information to cover! This would make a great Family Home Evening project.
Our first mini-book is: Nephi follows his father, the prophet.
Okay, I've been totally meaning to as you about these. Can I come over and check one out? They look really cool.
ReplyDeleteCome over anytime. Sam would love to show you hers.
ReplyDeleteneat! are they an older kid thing or suitable for littles too?
ReplyDeleteThe lapbooks are for all ages. You may need to help little ones cut and fold. I usually show them an example and they do it on their own.
ReplyDeleteA couple of the lessons in the kit we bought require an Exacto knife to cut in tight spaces, which only older kids (or mom) can do. It can be adapted to anything you want.
Basically, once you get the hang of it, you can do anything you want! Christian did one for a book report that turned out great!
