So what exactly is a lapbook? A lapbook is a FUN, HANDS-ON and CREATIVE way for your child to record information that he/she has learned about a certain subject. First, you create the folder part of your lapbook. This part is made from colored folders that are folded in a special way and glued together. Mini-booklets are then cut out, constructed and glued inside of the folders.

Why use lapbooks? Because learning doesn’t have to be boring! Why do lapbooks work? Because kids don’t realize it’s educational.

For you “Non” Homeschoolers out there, lapbooking is like scrap booking! Your Kiddo’s will LEARN while having FUN :yup

Both my daughters and myself recently had a fun time putting together this lapbook, “Andrea Carter and The San Francisco Smugglers” by Susan K. Marlow This particular lapbook offers historical and literature tie-ins to Susan’s books and takes about a month to complete.

Most of AJTL lapbooks come with a study guide. No need to search out the answers yourself! Check each title for more info. They also have copywork and notebooking pages!

AJTL goes the extra mile to make your lapbooking experience better than ever for you…

*First and foremost-MOST of their lapbooks come with a study guide. No need to search out the answers yourself!

*Their lapbooks are colorful, not boring black and white.

*AJTL pages are printed on white paper not colored paper, so that the colors “pop” out. Our customers tell us that lapbooks made from colored paper result in a dark, drab lapbook.

*Their prices beat out many competitors AND we ship for FREE!

*They give you step by step color-coded instructions on how to fold and glue your folders to make the “spine” of your lapbook.

*They give you step by step directions AND a color-coded chart on where to place your mini-booklets within each folder.

*They were recently compared to Evan-Moor Publishers on the beauty of our lapbooks.

*You will receive your folders for Free when you order a printed version!

*Their 3-folder lapbook takes about one month to complete. However, you can expand the study portion and make it last as long as you want. That’s the beauty of homeschooling. Do it YOUR way!
