What are lapbooks?

A lapbook is a file folder that is transformed by your students into a folded display. Inside, learners glue in notes or foldables on a particular topic and create an interactive space for drawings, stories, timelines, graphics and more.

Lapbooks are a wonderful hands-on activity. Each one is an original creation and will look great on display in your classroom!
