If you’re one of those who have heard of lapbooking but lacked confidence in your creativity, crafts skills or both, Home School in the Woods has a collection of great solutions to get you started.
Lap books are fun and practical. They provide youngsters with hours of creative hands-on learning and a meaningful “product” at the end. One of our guys loves to put the books together and spent hours telling us all the cool facts hidden in his latest book. For him, it was a fun way to vent his creativity. For us, it counted as school.
The Hands-On Learning kit we downloaded is the New Testament Activity Pak. You also have the option of ordering the Activity Pak on CD, and we strongly recommend doing so if you have a slow Internet connection. The New Testament collection is beautifully illustrated and includes very detailed instructions. Your lap books will not only show what has been learned, some may even become family keepsakes. The New Testament Activity Pak starts with the birth of Christ and continues through letters of Paul.
Two additional activities, New Testament News and Armor of God round out the collection. New Testament News allows the child to become a cub reporter. The reporter fills in the provided masters and then tapes them together on towel rolls to form a scroll. Armor of God is a poster with cut-outs of each part of the armor. Once completed, you can read the appropriate scripture passage as you “put on” each piece of armor. And you’re encouraged to keep it on in spirit even after you put the poster parts back in the handy pocket provided.

Amy Pak’s creativity and artistry combine with great curriculum design to make this approach to lapbooking a great way for beginners to get comfy with the process.

Ben's dream began as the steady rhythm of the rain lulled him into drowsiness when he should have been studying for a geography test on great monuments of the world. But just as Ben was dropping off to sleep, a flood of waters shook his house from its very foundation and set it adrift on a round-the-world course, leading Ben past the incredible structures that had merely been pictures on the pages of his book a moment earlier. But as the reader, along with Ben, observes the monuments from this unique perspective, details within Chris Van Allsburg's artwork soon reveal themselves to be clues to another structure of meaning within the story. Which is real and which is an illusion? That is for the clever reader to decipher from this beguiling book be an award-winning author.
