We took a short break from our regular studies to do a mini study on animal life cycles. Once again, we used a lapbook from Hands of a Child. For the cover, we collected images from the internet and then put a verse at the bottom. Munchkin decided that she wanted to add more life cycle booklets to the lapbook, so we made up more booklets. The lapbook comes with a booklet for observing the frog life cycle. Munchkin’s least favorite part of this lapbook was the mini book on decomposition. She says that part is just gross!

We completed the human body lapbook by Hands of a Child today. Munchkin says that there is still a little more coloring to do, but she’ll finish it up later. **grin** This was a fun lapbook to work on. We pulled the cover image from the web, and I put the verse on the bottom using a photo editing program. We are fearfully and wonderfully made… We added a few books from activities that we found at Kids Health. (Note: Some families may find certain content on this site objectionable, so I encourage parents to check out the site first.)…

The last 2 weeks, we have been studying astronomy. We completed this lapbook on space yesterday. It’s partially something that we made up and partially something from Live and Learn Press. Some of the resources we used:Learning PagesEnchanted Learning NASA Kids Astronomy
