Materials you'll need
3- ring binder (or a thick weight wire bound artist sketchbook)
card stock (skip this if you use the sketchbook)
3- hole puncher
lapbook templates and booklets
glue
pencil
coloring supplies (crayons, color pencils, markers)
embellishments (colored paper, patterned paper, stickers, die cut, magazine pictures)
Step 1:
Take several (about 15- 30) sheets of card stock (I usually use white but you can use colored) and 3- hole punch them on the left side. Put the card stock in the binder. (Start here if you are using the sketchbook) Decorate the first page of card stock (only the top) to reflect the theme of the notebook whether it is for science, history, picture books or whatever. Step 2:
Now your ready for your studies. As your studying each subject do enough lapbook type booklets or templates to fill up a two page spread. In other words, When the notebook is open to the page both the left side and right side of the open area will have the same sub category, then when you turn the page it will be about another subcategory. Example: If you are doing a science notebook the first 2 page spread many be over the solar system. It might have a booklet attached about the Sun, then one about the planets, one about Comets and a booklet about asteroids. Then the next two page spread might be about volcanoes. One that page you may have a map of the ring of fire, booklet on the types of volcanoes and a booklet about pumice stone. Make sure you wait until you are done with a study, before you glue down the booklets. You can store the booklets in a freezer bag to store. Remember each 2 page spread reflects a study. Step 3:
After you put the have arranged the booklets, you can add embellishments to make certain things stand out. Pictures are good illustrators. Just remember this is an on going project that will take weeks or months as you study more subjects. Flickr pics of the finished product
Here is an example of what the pages look like with the booklets.

This is wonderful! We lapbook and notebook now. I like condensing it down like this, and still getting the particulars and creativity. This would be a wonderful "test" at the end of the year! :)
