We made our first lapbook in 2009 and it started us down a path of creative, delight-directed learning that we still enjoy today. We’ve found lapbooks to be easily adjustable for age and ability so they have worked well for all three of my daughters (ages 5, 7, and 13).
Through our years of lapbooking, I have found some favorite resources that we turn to again and again. They not only offer high-interest and high-quality learning, but they are also very budget-friendly, which is a bonus for homeschool families!
