The Ultimate Guide to Free Lapbooks for Every Subject
Free lapbooks are a fun way to add creativity and variety into your homeschool lessons! You can find free lapbooks for almost any interest and subject you want to study. I’ve arranged them here for you by subject, including history, music, math, science, language arts, and more.
Free Lapbooks for Homeschooling
My oldest daughter completed her first lapbook in 2009 and from that moment we were hooked. She enjoys using her arts and crafts creative skills to display what she has learned on just about any topic. Now her younger sisters are joining her as they learn to make lapbooks, too. I’ve found that they retain the information they put together in lapbooks and they like to refer back to them later, too. It’s like creating our own reference library and the lapbooks become both keepsakes and educational tools.

Lapbooking is also easy on the budget and makes planning simpler for me ~ both great qualities in homeschool resources. Through the years I’ve gathered a list of free lapbooks. These can be downloaded instantly so learning is ready to go whenever you are! I hope this list is helpful as you’re searching for lapbooks to try, for whatever subject you may need.
