Best way to organize Lapbooks attractively?

[Halcyon]

ETA: title should have been Best way to organize Lapbooks IN PROGRESS attractively

 

We are currently working on three large lapbooks simultaneously, and I need a way to keep them all organized yet accessible. Right now, I have them laid out on the floor of our school room in "groups" but that doesn't look very good (nor is it conducive to thorough vacuuming LOL).

 

I have the "sections" in large ziplock bags, but I'd love a sort of visual wall thingie that allows me to "see" what we're working on but is off the floor...am I making sense? ("visual wall thingie" is quite descriptive, no?) ;)

 

Ideas/Links/help appreciated.

What about those clear pocket things that hang on the wall? (I just realized after typing that, that it's about as descriptive as your thingie! :lol:)

 

Like this (although the one in the pic is black):

I've seen some with fabric backs and pockets made of that clear plastic that looks sort of like vinyl (I have no idea what it is), but I don't see any right now. I don't think they look as nice as the others, but I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly. Those above are just the kind of thing that I would use. :)

I don't do them often, but when I have, I like to use something similar to this. The folder that I have is a little different, but I couldn't find it exactly. Mine has a stretchy band to close it like expandable folders. It also have the pockets, but each pocket has a little closing envelope on the front half, perfect for small pieces of paper.

 

Here is something that I saw in a Bed Bath and Beyond sale paper that I would love for all my bills, but I think it would work great for lapbooks, too.

Oooh I've been looking for an excuse to buy one of these Wonderfiles :) I saw them at our local Publix yesterday and I might just pick one up. Thank you for the ideas, both of you :)

We keep them in folders. One side has the direction and the other has the pieces in order. When we finish a piece it goes in the back of the others. When we finish all the pieces, I 3-hole punch file folders and they put the pieces on there and then they are stored in binders.:001_smile:

LOL! Me, too. My husband thinks I'm a little silly about that.
