    Great ideas!!! I now have more ideas for mini projects with students. I have used them beyond reading and writing.... so thank you for this great site.

    I happened upon lapbooks by a quirk but it definately will be a activity when I have the grandaughter for the weekends

    wow this site is awesome!! I already have so many ideas running through my head for my upcoming 1st grade plant unit!!!

    These are some very good examples. I teach special education to students who struggle with varying levels of literacy. I am going to use this in conjunction with Dr. Suess and rhyming words. Thanks.

    Minibooks are great for really short stories or writing down factoids.

    Very cool books....I can use some of these ideas for my papercrafting projects and handmade cards. Thanks!

    Great lens! I remember that I used to have so much fun making minibooks with my kids. (They still do sometimes)

    What a great idea! I am dropping everything right now to make a number wheel book for my three year old grandchild, who already gets the concept of simple addition.
  • Philippians468 Apr 14, 2011 @ 12:09 pm | delete
    love the four corner book! such a simple concept and yet it is beautiful if done and decorated with love! cheers

    Nice idea.

    I love this lens! I have an artistic side that really appreciates hand made endeavors like this. We used Dinah Zike's book for some of our unit study projects. Our family has homeschooled for 23 years. I invite anyone that homeschools to visit my site for a> called Best Homeschool Buys.
  • Jennifer in MamaLand Feb 5, 2011 @ 9:02 pm | delete
    Very helpful - I will probably use lots of these! But it doesn't have the "cut-out middle" minibook style I was looking for... oh, well - tons of inspiration anyway!
  • Irenemaria Jan 30, 2011 @ 1:13 pm | delete
    I will show this to my grand daughter. She is exactly this kind of child!
  • Mujjen Jan 29, 2011 @ 9:39 am | delete
    What a wonderful lens! Good pictures and ideas. Thank you!
  • WildFacesGallery Jan 12, 2011 @ 10:57 pm | delete
    What an incredibly creative way to learn. I so wished I could have done something like this as a kid, and no kids of my own to try it out on. But I love books and journaling and art so this kinda combines all my favorite things in one.
  • FunMama Nov 10, 2010 @ 11:12 am | delete
    Thanks for a terrific resource! We tried our first lapbook a few weeks ago, and loved it. Now my daughter wants all her "schooling" this year to consist of a series of lapbooks. All of your mini book ideas will be happily used throughout the year -- thanks again!

    A lens full of creative ideas on minibooks. There are so many ways to use them intuitively.

    Hi! This Lens is WONDERFUL!!!! I love Lapbooks, and this is a treasure chest!
    Thankyou so much!

    Thank you to all the contributors who share all this wonderful information & ideas. My daughter is just in Kindergarten right now, but I am planning to implement lapbooks next year and am very excited to teach her in this way!
  • RobininColorado Jun 20, 2010 @ 9:34 am | delete
    I have used this lens for about 3 months now. I didn't even know what a lens was when I found it! I featured it on "Stone Soup Homeschool Network" and I have become an avid notebooker since then. You inspired me to break out of curriculum and try something new. After 14 years homeschooling, that's a big change! Thanks Jimmie!
  • Georgia Apr 16, 2010 @ 5:24 pm | delete
    Wow! Thanks! We do tons of lapbooks, and very seldom find anyone who does them to the extent we do. Thanks for a wealth of new ideas and inspiration!!! I will share with my other hardcore home school friends.
  • teacherspet Mar 8, 2010 @ 1:34 am | delete
    This is incredible. I've never seen so many fabulous ideas in one page. I've never thought about putting different bookstyles together. Love this site!!!
  • JulieS Jan 19, 2010 @ 4:15 pm | delete
    I really appreciate this beautiful lense on making mini books. We have homeschooled for over 20 years and I still save the many books that my children made in homeschool. I wish I had had some of these great ideas when my children were younger. This is so inspiring! Well, maybe for the grandchildren..... Visit me at Used Homeschool Curriculum

    I absolutely love this site. I reference it every time I want to make minibooks, and I plan to share it with others. I hope you don't mind!

    Sounds like fun

    I am a first time home school mom. I am so glad that I stumbled upon your web site. I anticipate referring to your web site often. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    I've got to tell you, I've been attempting and then quite frankly, giving up on lapbooks for almost a year now. Came across a post in CafeMom wich directed me here and WOW!! I'm going to try this again!

    This was the most informative site that I've seen on lapbooks, I feel so much more confident now. Thanks so much for having this site! Your documentation on how to do it all is inspirational!!

    I'm really impressed and cannot thank you enough!

    I love the various styles.

    PS: Where did you find all of that?
  • Belinda Apr 29, 2009 @ 9:03 pm | delete
    Thank you so much for your inspiration. It has been great to get us started and we have even gotten inspiration enough to try our own things. Thank you.

    Great lens filled with so many variations! Just wonderful! You're an excellent teacher & mom plus you have a very TALENTED daughter. (And you're great at documenting the process too, which helps the rest of us.) 5*s!

    I will be able to use this with my children. My eldest son love to make mini-books and this will help him to hone his skills :)

    thank you :)

    I love the various styles of minibooks. I plan to add you to my faves....if I can figure that out. LOL!
  • chelle Jan 10, 2009 @ 10:22 pm | delete
    You are awesome, and thanks for sharing your ideas on here. That's what makes us other homeschoolers keep at it, the ideas of others!! Thanks again and keep up your great work!
  • gods_grace_notes Nov 25, 2008 @ 8:25 pm | delete
    Jimmie, I love your ideas for lapbooking, and your daughter has obviously inherited your artistic nature! I really like the matchbook idea, and the coloring page of Tchaicovsky is just too cute.
    Great job from mom AND daughter!

    Your lenses are always so inspiring. I am going to show this lens to my daughter who needs to turn in a creative biography next week. I am sure that these minibooks will be right up her alley.
