After our bat lapbook and our owl lapbook, she requested a frog Lapbook! She has decided she really likes making Lapbooks now!
We got our printables & ideas from:
- Frog Resource Unit & Notebooking Pages {this is where we based our unit from}
- Homeschool Share: Frog Lapbook
- Pond Coloring {the frog on the front of the Lapbook}
- Frog Puppets
- Frog Theme Pinterest Board
Here is a peek at her completed lapbook, for those of you new – she is in 1st grade. She put together the front and back all on her own, taping her creations onto the folder. The amphibians on the back were a random image search and a copy/paste job so I don’t have the rights to share those. I just printed images I found for her to color – it was a totally last minute thing she asked for!
The elements in her Lapbook were not planned out well, so we had to get creative fitting them in. Most were actually notebooking pages we used. We got it all stuck in and she loves it, which is what counts!
We gathered all of our toy frogs and books and went to the library for even more frog books!
I made a mini pond out of green, blue and clear water beads and added our frogs to it.
We didn’t follow a strict plan, just read books, watched frog videos, and did some notebooking pages and a comparing frogs and toads mini book. I followed her lead with the activities I chose. I did not print all of our resources ahead of time, I did it day by day based on what we read and what she was interested in. Or animal unit studies are very casual.
She made an acorn frog with her dad.
Making frog puppets was a BIG favorite, we spent lots of time learning through that project.
