Lap Book Samples - STEPH

Stephanie, I'm not sure you saw my comment under "lapbook mavens". I'm really intrigued by the lap book you made with all the sample folds, instructions and booklets in it. Do you sell these? Are you interested in selling these? Seriously....figure your price for materials and time and think about it. LOL

Has anyone ever seen anything like this on the market? I have the Dinah Zike books but, it would be so helpful to have something like this for the children and ME to be able to SEE. I figure things out much quicker by touching and seeing, than by reading the destructions. If I had a book like this I could run with anything I wanted. LOL Seriously, I know it would be basic, but it would be a great start. I mean I can figure out "Gee, I could cut this in a pig shape and write facts about pigs on it"...it's more those folds that perplex us....and the children aren't terribly excited to sit and watch while I figure them out. LOL

I know, I know....I could make one myself...but there you are back to that "WHAT DID THEY SAY TO DO???" problem. LOL

Tee hee... destructions? I like that choice of word...
THeresa (8yo) still calls them constructions

lol You crack me up. Sell you one - no. But, if you email me your address off list I'll send you one. :) All I did was put a few folders together and make some folds from either websites or from a borrowed copy of Dinah Zike's Big Book of Books. I'll gladly make one for you if you'd like. I'll write myself a note to take some photos of it tomorrow and put it up on the blog so you can see it too. It's nice to have out for my dd too because she can flip through and find what she'd like to use. Of course, there was that time that I lost it for a few months.... lol

I would love one - but I'm deadly serious that I believe there would be a market for this. Maybe I should email one of those lap book companies.....you know Dinah Zike could sell it along with her big book of folding paper in tiny squares and affixing them with cement rubber book.....

lol - You can be my manager and publicist. You get 'em hooked and I'll make folders. It's hard for me to believe that something like this isn't out there already though. Somewhere? Good news... when I made mine I only had the typical yellow-ish file folders. You'll get blue. :)
