For each lapbook, you will need a file folder. Open up the folder.
Fold each side in to meet in the middle. You will glue each of the
activities into this to make a lapbook.
If you need additional room, you can add an extension. Use a sheet
of card stock, or cut a file folder in half. Use wide packing tape to
tape it to the top of your lapbook. Fold it down to close the
book.
If you need an even bigger lapbook, you can put
multiple file folders together to create a book. After you determine
how many folders you will need to hold all of your information, measure
down one inch on each side of the folded edge. On one folder, you will
cut along the crease to the one inch mark as indicated by the red lines
in the picture below.
On the rest of the folders, you will cut where the red
line indicates below, starting and ending at the one inch marks, on
the folded folders.
Stack together all of these last folders. With the first
folder open (the one shown in purple), roll it from the bottom to the
top. Insert it into the slits in the middle of the other folders. When
the rolled folder is halfway through, unroll it and line up the pages,
sliding the slits over the creases in the stack of folders.
