I love this lapbook! We are studying the states, also. Is there a link for the layered books for each state with the blue maps on them? Excellent work. Thank you for sharing.
The layered books are all of the links labeled state components. Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this. We are studying the 50 states this year and have been using a workbook which can get so boring with all the fill in the blanks. I love your lapbook! What a great idea! What did you do for the state bird and state flower? Did you had draw them or cut and paste from another website? We are excited to get started…

I just had her write out the name of the state bird and flower.
This is absolutely beautiful! I had an idea of what I wanted to do with the 50 states, but not enough time to put it together. It’s like you read my mind. So thankful most of the preparation was done for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Thank you, I’m saving these files for when my boys are old enough!
OHGosh I can tell that a lot of work went into this. Thank you soooo much for sharing!!

I was wondering how you put the layers into the lapbook? The middle blue pages with the states on them.
