    We're always looking for ways to be prepared when our inquisitive grandchildren visit. Having a few of these lapbooks on hand could be just the ticket when we need to be in the kitchen preparing lunch for the little ones. Thanks for the cool ideas.

    Thank you so much for this site!

    My son just told me that he thinks homeschool is boring so I went in search of a way to make it more exciting. Your site has given me the jolt of energy I needed!

    Ah, you are the queen of lapbooks! Have you organized all these helpful guides in an ebook yet? Hugs. And, Merry Christmas my dear.

    Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this. I am so grateful that people like you go to such lengths to help when you're unlikely to hear from most of the people that benefit from your time and effort. I can't tell you how helpful this was to me! Thanks!!

    i was wondering what type of colored paper can go into a computer printer. or whenusing colored paper, do you sometimes just write and not worry about typing?

    also, where to go to get good free clipart.. i have found a few good places

    thanks so much for all the info already on your website! i am new to this and can't wait to get proficient in it.

    my kids are artsy and my son (5 1/2) came up with an idea to put a stem on my daughter's petal book for part of her cinderella lapbook. he even got the green paper out for her! she is 4yr.

    My 9yo daughter is starting her first lapbook (on cats - a favorite subject). I was able to download a variety of templates for the minibooks, but I haven't been able to locate ideas in how to 'fold the folder(s)'. I would appreciate any info on a source for this. Thanks!

    Thank you so very much for pointing that out! I've replaced that link with a PDF ebook Cindy Rushton offers for free! It's even better than the previous link.

    Hi, Jimmie! Just wanted to say "Thanks!" for the great, valuable info on lapbooking! To show my appreciation, just wanted to let you know that this link (http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/CindyRushton/37769/) is dead. I'm sure you can update the link so others can also benefit from your sharing! Thanks again! =)

    Hey if anyone has a chance and can email me, I was wondering how you keep you lapbooks closed when you are done creating. I am a teacher and just love doing these with my class, I did not know this was something that was a big thing in the homeschooling world, I just started doing them on my own and I have never mastered keeping them closed. I loved the magnet idea in the video, but I cannot tell how it was done. Please explain if possible via email. cynthia.jackson@mapleschools.com. Thank you!!

    THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey, Marni! Thanks for commenting. Maybe my intro to that section was misleading. I simply meant that when this mom made her reference lapbook, she included templates and directions for herself. She did not make them available for others online at Flickr. Those are just photos of her work.
  • MarniR Nov 25, 2008 @ 7:41 pm | delete
    lots of good information, but I never did find the temples and directions as indicated under the topic "Reference Lapbook to Show the Various Minibooks "

    Thank you so much for this guide! This simplifies it for me, and I need all the help I can get as I figure out what the heck I'm doing!

    Jimmie...
    Great ideas. You've done a great job making the planning process less "scary." :-) ha ha I always love your pages.

    Jimmie, don't forget to add this to the Notebook and Lapbook Group! Great info.

    Lapbooks are a wonderful way to organize your homeschooling unit studies when you want to share your learning with friends and family.

    Thank you for more insight into the Lapbook Process.
