Free Lapbooks

If you're looking for free lapbooks, you've come to the right place!

free lapbooksI love the idea of lapbooks but can never come up with the ideas myself. That is why I rely on the creativity and expertise of others to help me and my children make lapbooks.

Hopefully if we make enough books we will someday get to the place where we can create our own with ease. Until then, we are going to need some more help, so I thought there might be others who feel the same way.

Here is what I have found that is available on the Internet:

CurrClick often has lapbook kits, templates and idea books for free. Even when their resources are not free, they are still very reasonably priced. Check CurrClick periodically and see the different free lapbooks that go on sale on a rotating basis.

Here are some instructions and templates that you can use once you get more familiar with how to make lapbooks. Or maybe you're ready to venture out and try some books on your own. Here's how to get started:

Many people mention using homeschool share for their lapbook ideas. I looked over what they had and found it a bit confusing. Although I think once you make a few books of your own homeschool share could be a great resource for ideas of what kinds of books to make and what to include in each book.

The nice thing about using CurrClick and most of the resources mentioned here is that you receive the products immediately delivered to your computer. Then you can start using them right away.

I hope these are helpful to you. Let me know if you have any other ideas or know of any other free books that I can post here.
