Homeschool Helper with Charisse Van Horn

If you’ve heard the term “lapbook” around homeschooling circles, but just aren’t certain what a “lapbook” is, you are not alone.  Lapbooking is a popular trend amongst homeschoolers, because it is an easy, fun, and highly efficient way of learning.  Sometimes lapbooks may be referred to as “shutterbooks”, but basically, a lapbook is a book that is composed from a file folder that when opened displays numerous mini books, printouts, and other paper cutouts, etc that enhance a study.

 There are numerous ways to fold paper and create mini books.  By using the different paper folding techniques, you can create lapbooks that are rich with information.  I think the viewing a lapbook is the best way to understand what one is, so I am enclosing some links to lapbooks online.
