Lap Books!
I have heard about them for a couple of years and even purchased a
couple of "how to" books on lap booking but it just didn't become real
until we were personally introduced four days ago at a "Girls for God"
meeting sponsored by our local home school group. Mia Turner, home school mom
and lap booker, provided everything needed and guided us through the
process of making a lap book on "Love, 1 Corinthians 13 Style." Her
creativity and enthusiasm were so contagious that we are now hooked!
After getting home that evening my eleven year old daughter decided to
make a lap book on "The Reformation." My sixteen year old daughter
decided to take her "Love" lap book a step further and added
information about dating and courtship. And my four and six year old
girls added more details to their "Love" lap books too. If this wasn't
enough for a day! Yesterday my eleven year old invited a friend to come
over to make lap books together about horses. They collected a bunch of
info and pictures from the internet and made some really nice books.
While this was going on my sixteen year old wouldn't be left out so she
started researching and made a really neat lap book about mountains.
It's never ending!!!! What a creative and exciting way to learn - not
to mention FUN!
