Lapbook

This is our Little House in the Big Woods lapbook.  Actually, it's a triple lapbook (meaning we used 3 folders to make it).  It's not the neatest, but it was our first attempt ever at lapbooking.  We added an explanation to the back page after the picture was taken (it's vocabulary, pa holding Laura and telling stories and the dance at Grandpa's). 
This one was fairly simple, educationally.  The lapbook is from http://www.lapbooklessons.com/
We modified it somewhat and added other material to it.  The pictures don't show all the flaps being lifted, because I figured this is probably overkill with the pictures already.  But I wanted to share it.  This was a fun educational project which hopefully will pave the way to explore lapbooking further. 

The cool thing about a project like this is that not only do you review the book while making it, but some parts give background info or further explains things from the book, plus every time she looks through it-for herself or to show someone-it's a natural review of all the materials!

Those are just brads, so the book can spin open. We used them on the cheese wheel and pray booklet too.

I think I'd just go with ordering brad pitt!
I'm pretty sure craft stores should have some, I got mine from an office supply store. They might go by another name at the craft store.
