What is Lapbooking?
A basic definition of lapbooking is:
Lapbooking is an activity that allows children to learn more about a topic of interest and display what they’ve learned in a scrapbook type of way. Lapbooks are essentially project books that your child can sit in their laps and flip through. It is a great, hands-on way to teach your children about a wide variety of topics. Lapbooks can contain mini-books, drawings, graphs, diagrams, timelines and a variety of other visual materials that can make the topic interesting and engage your child’s attention.
