Dog Family Lapbook

March 27, 2009 by Ami Leave a Comment

While studying desert, Elijah decided he really wanted to start his own Dog Family Lapbook (inspired by coyote).  He wants to include various foxes, wolves, and breeds of dogs. 

I did not want to design a Dog Family Lapbook.  I decided I would just give him the tools he needed to do it himself.  I put the Lapbook Reference book, some pictures, some printed information, scissors, double-stick tape, colored pencils, colored paper, etc. all in a workbox for him.  

I think he’s worked on this four times.  He sits for an hour (or longer) and just reads and reads and works and works.   I stay far, far away from this project as I let him make all the choices.    Yes, I give him the tools…then I step away.    If he needs something, he asks (and let me tell you- he is very specific and picky!). 

Here are some shots of the inside of his book (yes, another Bare Book!).  I didn’t take pictures of every minit book or every picture, but you will get a good sampling.

He has a list of twenty-some "dogs" he wants in the book.  I will update once he thinks he is finished! 
Happy Lapbooking!
