Make a Cinco de Mayo lapbook with your child to help them learn about this custom. A lapbook is a wonderful way to educate. A lapbook is creative and it helps with retention of the information that is being learned. It also provides a lovely keepsake of your children's work. Not sure what a lapbook is??? Then check out my beginner how to lapbook. For a more comprehensive guide check out my friend's lens on lapbooking.
