"The Mitten" Lapbooks

Starting this week
and into the next,
my younger kiddos will be participating
in a several activities inspired by...
...Jan Brett's
The Mitten.

My 2nd grader has begun...
...working on a lapbook

*****************************************

Front of the Lapbook
Here is the cover she will decorate...
(We keep all the pieces together with a couple
of extra large rubber bands...)

Back of the Lapbook
I attached a folder to the lapbook's back
to store extra activities related to 
The Mitten study...
The first activity...
...an "Even and Odd Number Sort,"
can be found at
The pieces can be easily stored
in the front pocket...

Back pocket activities include...
...more information to read...
...printables from Jan Brett's site...
...words to practice alphabetizing...
...and all the other pieces need to complete the activities
inside of the lapbook.

******************************************

The two preschoolers
will be working through...
...THIS lapbook
created by Homeschool Share.

The kiddos will use...
...animal track stamps to decorate
the cover.
Here's a closer look at the inside of the lapbook...



 (They will use felt to decorate this mitten...)

**********************************

On the back of the lapbook...
 ...the kiddos will use these animal pictures...
...to create a Winter scene,
and see how animals use 
"camo" to protect themselves in the wild.

(These animal pictures are a part of the 
Homeschool Share Mitten printable pack.)

Next week,
I will post
the other activities the kiddos' completed
to go along with our 
Mitten learning fun...

PreK Thanksgiving Lapbook

 During our Thanksgiving studies,
Smiley B
(age 3)
worked through...
...a lapbook created with the
Turkey Tot Pack printables from

It included the following:






 I also added a little...
 ...name practice activity on the back of the lapbook.

Inside the name pocket are...
...letter pumpkins Smiley can use to practice
spelling his name.

Easy-peasy learning fun...

Firefighter Lapbook

Everyday that Smiley B
worked on his Firefighter Tot Trays
and 
he also completed sections in his
Fire Fighter Lapbook.

I downloaded the lapbook from

For the cover puzzle,
I laminated it...


...and attached Velcro to the back pieces.

This way,
Smiley B can work the puzzle as many times
as he wants too.


On the inside of the lapbook there are
several different activities.

Again, for durability, longevity, and organization,
I laminated the pieces...

...and rubber banded the loose cards together.







The back of the lapbook had a firefighter
for Smiley to color...
...with assistance from Little Wild Man.

When we finished up our Firefighter unit,
Smiley B took the lapbook
home with him.

His mother said he has played with it several times
since he's been at home.

I am SO THANKFUL to Jolanthe for creating
such a fun, educational little lapbook!
