Thanksgiving Lapbook

I love using lapbooks with my kids. I find them to be a great way to have children record what they learn in a fun keepsake-style activity.

I have boxes in my basement full of my kids’ old lapbooks. I love looking back on them at the end of the year and reviewing what we learned.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

ASSEMBLING THE LAPBOOK

Open the file folder. Fold each side in half so that the edges meet in the center of the folder.

Color and cut out the cover pieces – the “this lapbook belongs to…” sign, the “my all about Thanksgiving lapbook” box, the cornucopia, the pie, and the Pilgrim and Native American. Glue them to the lapbook cover.

You can model the cover in the pictures here, or you can have your kids glue them wherever they’d like.

Now, open the lapbook. Now, cut out and glue the “All About Thanksgiving” banner to the top of the center portion of the lapbook.

Then, cut out the square with the summary and glue it underneath the banner.

There are eight mini-books in this lapbook. Print, cut, and glue them together. Place six of them in the desired area on the left and right flaps of the lapbook.

Now, turn the lapbook over. Glue the remaining two mini-books to the backside of the lapbook along with the “What I Learned About Thanksgiving” writing page.

I find it easier to have children write what they’ve learned on the lined paper before gluing it to the lapbook.
