Literature Pockets, Folktales & Fairytales, Grades K-1
Amazon Price: $11.24 (as of 12/14/2009)![]()
I used this product with my two little girls, ages 3 1/2 and 4 3/4. They had so much fun. There is a lot of coloring, cutting, and pasteing which is nice because it gives them something to keep them busy while I am teaching the older kids. This product would also be easy to adapt to lapbooking if the master pages were printed smaller.
You can also purchase a digital copy of this product from Currclick, which makes it much easier to print copies for multiple children.
