My Father’s Dragon Lapbook

December 2, 2008 by Ami 7 Comments

A perfect book for my son; it’s about a boy who ventures into a dangerous jungle filled with wild animals to rescue a dragon!

First view of lapbook open.  Two folders glued side by side.   The first folder (on the left) has another folder glued in the middle that opens up.

First Folder

We didn’t follow the instructions (yes, the instructions I wrote!) for some of the minit books.  We also didn’t do every minit book; there were just too many to choose from!

For all the animal fact books (tortoises, fleas, lions, whales, rhinos, etc.), Elijah did some "research" and came back and reported to me with the facts he learned.  I typed them up and he cut/pasted them to the minit books.

The center of the first folder opens up and has two large sections

We used velcro to fasten and there are lots of pockets to store all his things in!
