Recently, seems like every home-school kid is in a way or another embarking on lapbook-ing journeys. Grace is no exception since mummy has decided that she is so done with all the flash cards flashing and decided to chuck them aside for now.
Little girl is currently into her 5th lapbook and some friends have been asking us how we go about doing them as some of the samples from other blogs seems pretty much for more older kids..
OK.. this is what i have to share.. Please do let me know if you have any other ideas on how to improve on them..
- Grace's lapbooks are meant to be more of little picture books rather than a book with plenty of details since she has just turned 2yo and barely can recognize words.
- What mummy does is she look for pictures related to the topic / theme we have for the week, drop them into a zip lock bag, and Grace will paste them in either a mini scrapbook or vanguard sheet.
- Once that is done, mummy will stick a sheet of plastic over the page to ensure that the pictures don't fall out or the paper doesn't tear easily.
For little Grace, it seems like this method of learning works better than the flash cards since she is able to tell me the names of the flowers and leaves for this little project (i am able to see almost immediately results rather than flashing and not knowing if anything really goes into her brain or not).
The best part i like about these little lapbooks that Grace does is she learn to take great pride in her little work and will fight her brothers off just to protect her "books" and she constantly take them out to admire her own work.. :P
