Lapbooks

Lapbooks are the bomb!  Although we do not do lapbooks regularly, they are such a fun way to illustrate information we are learning.  The kinestetic and visual learners will enjoy this format but you can easily incorporate other learning styles so it lends itself well to unit studies.  And it is not expensive!  My daughter made a lapbook for one of the U.S. states and used it as a visual aid for her oral presentation.  The images gave her quick "keys" so she could do her presentation to the class rather than read it off a paper. 
My boys are older so they do not appreciate them :)  anymore, but I have fond memories of building various lapbooks throughout the years.
 Recently, my daughter and I decided we would do a lapbook along the lines of the orchestra theme for Classical Conversations Cycle 3 content.

Mine is complete for a sample but she is adding to hers weekly.

One of my favorite sites for templates for lapbooks is: http://www.homeschoolshare.com/lapbooking_resources.php

Would love to see your creations!
