  1. Creating Lapbooks

  2. Uses of Minibooks Minibooks are used to record small bits of information in an attractive and creative format. Usually people associate them with lapbooks, but they can also stand alone for-book reports-creative writing assignments-a summary of a lesson-imaginative play

  3. Keep it Fresh! There are an abundance of minibook styles. But there are other ways you can multiply your options! use colored papers -- even various colors within one book use different sizes -- think of tiny ones or large ones; or make it really skinny or really wide; round the edges. rotate the book -- the book can open on the top, side, or bottom.

  4. TrifoldExamples Notes: The trifold is one of my favorite minibooks because it is so very versatile! It can be short, tall, fat or skinny. You can even cut shapes into the trifold for a shaped trifold!

  5. Wheel Book ExamplesNotes: Wheel books are great for short lists or for a short process. The little ones especially love the action of turning the wheel. You'll need a paper fastener for this one.

  6. Three Quarters Book ExamplesNotes: Variations of this include cutting away one sixth or one eighth of a piece of paper. Experiment with different combinations to find a book size and shape that suits you!

  7. Circle Book ExamplesNotes: Easy, easy! A circle book gives you six divisions once you take away the back and cover pages. If you've got six or fewer bits of information, this book will work for you.

  8. Fan Book ExamplesNotes: For a fan book, make as many pages as you need and use a paper fastener to connect them at the bottom. T his book then opens like a fan. Your pages can be most any shape at all as long as they can be connected at one corner or end. Store it in a pocket in your lapbook or affix the back page to the lapbook base.

  9. Flag Book Examples Notes: This mini-book is a bit tricky, but the "WOW!" effect of the finished product is worth the trouble. For best effect, you want at least six flags -- three on top and four on bottom. It would also work for eight flags, but more than that may get unwieldy. You'll want an even number of concepts for this type of book -- six or eight.

  10. Pop-up Book ExamplesNotes: You can cut out paper shapes of whatever you're studying and attach them inside the pop-up. Add a cover made of another sheet of paper to the outside to finish it off.

  11. Four Corner Book ExamplesNotes: Another impressive but easy book. All it takes is a square piece of paper with corners folded into the center. \ Voila! You naturally get four sections, so material with four parts is best suited for this minibook.

  12. Matchbooks ExamplesNotes: Matchbooks are generally small minibooks, but experiment with larger ones for some variety! T ry a column or row of minibooks for vocabulary or for related concepts.

  13. Flip Flap Book Notes: The flip flap book (also called a shutterfold depending on the flaps) is a mini-book standby. We use it constantly! V ary your paper size and number of "doors" to fit your topic. Flaps can open on one side or both, on top or bottom or even in all four directions! These kinds of minibooks are great for vocabulary or most any topic at all.

  14. Accordion Book ExamplesNotes: This book can be as short or as long as you'd like. It is especially good for timelines, steps in a process, a series of events, or any sequence at all. The accordion book can unfold up, down, to the left or to the right. You can decide! Index cards, taped together, make good accordion books.

  15. One Page Book ExamplesNotes: With just one sheet of paper of most any size and a pair of scissors, you can make this one page book, the easiest and most versatile book there is! The larger your paper, the larger your finished book will be. Experiment with rectangles and squares of various sizes for unique books. Besides a cover and a back, this book has 6 interior pages. So it's good for three to six bits of information.

  16. Tabbed Book ExamplesNotes: A tabbed book is good for a list of similar things or a progression from small to large. It can have as few as three tabs or can have many more. The tabs can go across the top, sides, or bottom for even more versatility.

  17. Layered Book ExamplesNotes: A layered book is an easy but impressive minibook made with paper of various lengths, stacked and stapled together. Try different colors of paper to make a rainbow book! And remember that the layers can go up and down or side to side. A layered book is good for a list of related things.
