Creation lapbook!

We've been busy with school this week, but one of the really fun points for the boys AND I was doing our Creation lapbook!

I really love lap-booking, especially for my busy boys. It helps them be so hands-on, and 

that helps them really remember what they are learning. I'm hoping to do this with alot of the Bible stories,

as well as some animals, and other things.

First he said his first memory verse. He knows about 7 or 8 right now, but the first one he always starts with is Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

So I asked him what that meant, and he said, God made heaven and earth, and he made you and me.

PERFECT! :)

Anyway, we then read the Creation story out of his little Bible, emphasizing what happened on the different days all the way up to day 7.

And then I took the lapbook out! He was really excited.

He drew himself and the world on the front.

Then opened it up to find a bunch of different things!

The little booklet contained the days, and what happened on each of them.

Then he drew his family, just four heads really. LOL

On the other side he circled the letters in his name, and filled out the papers that had questions in them.

What's your favorite color? Blue

What's your favorite number? 1 (Thomas's number of course)

What's your favorite animal? dog

What's your favorite food? he said chickoners (chicken nuggets) and drew them. LOL So cute.

See the pocket with papers on the other side?

We pulled those papers out, and I had him match what happened on which day.

He did well!

He also had a paper on the back of the lapbook for him to draw lines from the day, to the event.

And lastly, Ayden jumped in on the fun of coloring the world, and we sang

"He's got the whole world in his hands." They thought it was so funny

when I put their names in the song. :)

There are SO many free sites out there with materials for lapbooking! I'm so grateful to all the sites I got my templates and papers from! People are amazing for sharing so sweetly.

ETA: a few of the places I got some materials from!
