Resurrection Lapbook

[merchi]

Well Friends,
We've just finished the Lapbook Lessons Resurrection Lapbook...and I think it looks pretty great! *Ü*

On the front of the book, I let dd5 paint a Resurrection scene. She chose to do three crosses. Since she painted them in the middle of the folder, I suggested a sky and hill (I helped with the shape of the hill.) She decided since it was "storming" that day, that there would be dark clouds and lightning...and because our lapbook is yellow, she picked orange (or red?) for the lightning (those are the zig-zags at the top.) I think it is a beautiful picture!

This is an overview of the lapbook opened once. On the left is a word study on /ea/ words. The words were all taken from different books we read on the Easter story. We put the different songs into a booklet and added that, the "He Is Risen" craft is here too. On the right are some crafts made at Sunday School and a flower that folds open to reveal my dd's handwritten Easter message.

This is the first flap folded down, and you can see the donkey cut-out with a Psalm 100 song booklet on his belly. Above that are the worksheets that fold up (these are on tabs, and act as another book, folding up one at at time. See the note on tabs below.) The top worksheet is the one dd drew people on the road to Jerusalem, and glued palm branches down. She had trouble cutting the shape, so I did that, and she snipped one edge to give the branches dimension.

The remainder of my photos can be viewed in my album.

Earlier, I posted a blog with some links and on one site there was a video about adding workbook pages to the top or side of a lapbook (similar to a fold-up flap, but with lots of pages) and I thought that was pretty cool. I think she called them tabs, but I can't remember...anyhow, we used them for our 6 worksheets in this lapbook. But we altered her idea slightly. She had the tabs glued to the front of the worksheet, and one worksheet per tab. I did ours with the tab between two worksheets so that you can't see the tab...and to hide the tab even more, I made it out of the same color paper as our folder. Pretty sneaky! LOL.

Can't wait to see everyone else's lapbooks!

Blessings,
*Ü*

The cover really is great! We'll have to use that idea this year. Thanks for sharing!
