I haven’t blogged about it yet, but recently ordered the Learning Lapbook Templates “template” from Journey Through Learning, which landed me on their mailing list, and one thing leads to another so now I’m entering a contest to win a lapbook from them.
So this is, yet again, another shameless blog post trying to win me something fun online. Sorry to all those who couldn’t care less whether I win stuff!
But you can win, too – if you enter here!
Not sure how I feel yet about the lapbook templates, by the way, so I’m not ready to put out a full review. Some of the templates are so basic I wonder how much time and energy they’re saving me. Others, however, are more involved and will hopefully be a help to us in any future lapbook projects.
I can see a product like this being a big help to mamas who plan their year around unit studies and just keep a bunch of colourful, pre-printed (blank) mini-books handy for when the mood strikes them.
Also, there are so many good lapbooking resources and FREE templates out there that I’m not sure I should have actually purchased this one. But now that it’s here, I’m going to try to make use of it… somehow!
What's a Lapbook?
ReplyDeleteLapbooks are a way of organizing a child's learning into a compact visual presentation using graphical organizers and fun little "mini-books". Sound confusing? It's a bit like those giant 3-fold science fair fold-out displays, only much, much smaller. We've done them for Pesach, Shavuos, and several others in the last couple of years and it's a fun complement to any subject.
