I’ve never helped a child make a complete lapbook in one day.
I’ve never lapbooked with two children at the same time.
And. . . I’ve never lapbooked with girls.
Well, now I’ve done all those things (at once)!

The entire morning was a whirlwind of glitter, giggles, and glue. The pink crayons got a workout!
We started off our time together by reading Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes. After our reading, we dove right in to the lapbooks using the templates at Homeschool Share.
Each lapbook is made of two file folders.
Girlie #1’s Lapbook
Girlie #2’s Lapbook
The front of the lapbooks had the girls’ names in glitter (why yes, I am CRAZY!) The lapbacks are pictured below:
We had so much fun! Hopefully, we can do this again!
This was the first lapbook I did with my two girls in June. I am sure it was a different experience for you than one boy! I am preparing my lapbooks for the Fall and just did a Family Tree one. I love your visual pictures of your lapbooks. Can you tell me: do you have great website resources and if so can you direct me to to them or are you mostly creative on your own? Thanks!
All the lapbooks I’ve made are at Homeschool Share. You are probably already familiar with that site since you did Chrysanthemum. 🙂 Gobs & gobs of freebies at HSS.
I use Microsoft Publisher to create the templates, and I have a subscription to http://www.clipart.com for the art.
If you have more questions, please let me know! 🙂 Ami
