Halcyon Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I've seen the one that SWB showed on youtube and WOW. That was something else. Would love to see other complex, long-term lapbooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kates Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I've seen the one that SWB showed on youtube and WOW. That was something else. Would love to see other complex, long-term lapbooks. I'll see if I can figure out how to upload pics of my son's. He's got some pretty intricate ones, done over several weeks or months. Is it possible to upload pics to the thread, or do I need to upload them to a blog or something and redirect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a blog, or you can use photobucket or flickr (easy to set up an acct)--but you can also pm me and I'll send you my email addie--i'd love to see them! Thank you!

Roxy Roller Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Wouldn't you like to do one for yourself, Hillary? I sometimes wish I had the time. It would be fun - hey, we could have a mom's lapbook contest. My kids do notebook pages, they sketch and do a narration of something that interested them from the weeks worth of work that we have done. I think that if I got them to do lapbooks, my love of paper and my perfectionistic qualities might take over, so I just haven't gone there yet. It is tempting, especially because 3 of my 5 kids are quite artisitic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowfall Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 We did one on The Great Kapok Tree, which covered the book, tropical rain forests, and Brazil. It only took 3 weeks (my dd was already kind of an expert on the rain forest, as far as 6-year-olds go) but it has lots to it. It's 2 folders put together, with 2 added pages that fold up and down. Is that intricate? I really don't know. It's not fancy or anything, but we worked really hard on it. I can try to post a pic if you're at all interested. DD is 6 and not writing much independently, so a lot of the writing was done by me (but it was all her words, lol). It won't hurt my feelings if it's not the kind of thing you're looking to see - like I said, it didn't take a very long time to complete. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is tempting, especially because 3 of my 5 kids are quite artisitic. I hear you :) That's why I leave it almost totally in their hands. I'll cut stuff for them, but they need to handwrite everything, which means it doesn't look very....professional LOL. But I have made paper color suggestions.....:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that there will come a day that they want my help. Right now, they want to do it all by themselves.;) It sure sounds like I need to get back to scrapping doesn't it. It has been months since I have created anything. I was thinking about doing Ali Edwards Christmas mini-album, I even started the base a couple of years ago for one, but that is as far as it got, and right now it is packed up somewhere.

Mandy in TN Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 crosspost I also put this in your extras thread. We make minibooks all the time, because my xtra student gets excited when she sees construction paper. I wish I could say that we made more of them into lapbooks.:blush: Our Skeletal Sytem/ Muscular system lapbooks are in these two posts. http://mandyintn.blogspot.com/2010/1...in-review.html http://mandyintn.blogspot.com/2010/1...in-review.html The Cuppycake xtra student's France lapbook. http://mandyintn.blogspot.com/2010/0...or-mei_17.html The Cuppycake xtra student's flower lapbook. http://mandyintn.blogspot.com/2010/0...egan-some.html HTH- Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Here's one for SOTW 2.The same site has SOTW 1, too, as well as others--some easy, some harder. Wow! You guys do some great lap books! We've done a couple and Indy loves to do them, but this year we're doing History Portfolio (which I'm kind of iffy on) and it has several mini books in it, so we've not done a full lap book this year.
