Epi Kardia Blog. Recently we had the opportunity of presenting a workshop on mini-books and lapbooks, types of graphic organizers, to our homeschooling support group.
We were pleased to have such a good turnout and spent a delightful evening with old and new friends.

If you’re anything like me, since making my first lapbook, I needed a more user friendly way to organize my thoughts and ideas for a lapbook.
Unfortunately, the unit lesson plans and even just basic lesson plans, didn’t really meet my need for something creative like a lapbook so I finally ended up creating a planner to outline future lapbooks with. This has become a big help, since my husband will be working on a lapbook project with our child and it was hard explaining to a “left brain” how to create a somewhat “right brain” project. With this planner, it helps him organize a lapbook a little bit easier though it helps, I have a “sample” lapbook already created for him to base his project on.
It’s with prayers that this planner can bless you and your lapbook projects and please definetely leave a comment or email how this planner has helped you or ideas of how to “tweak” it more. scribd.com/doc/9774480/Lapbook-Planner To see a lapbook, here’s a great YouTube video © 2008, Sunflower Faith.

Making the Mini-books the heart of lapbooking A lapbook is simply a collection of minibooks affixed on a base.
As you are studying your chosen homeschool topic, whether it be Colonial America or Penguins, use the mini-books to reinforce or narrate what was studied. In this way you can make a mini-book every day or so. Once your unit study is over, you will have a nice collection of mini-books to mount into a lapbook. If your child is very young, you can write or type the text for him. If your child is artistic, have him draw the graphics. What kind of mini-book should you use?
