What are lapbooks? A lapbook is basically a booklet you create with a central

theme, that can be held on your lap. Most lap books are

created on file folders so they can be closed and stored away

book like the sample on the following pages.

envelopes, brad, markers, crayons, computer printer,

colored paper to make your folder fun more interesting
