If you’re anything like me, since making my first lapbook, I needed a more user friendly way to organize my thoughts and ideas for a lapbook.
Unfortunately, the unit lesson plans and even just basic lesson plans, didn’t really meet my need for something creative like a lapbook so I finally ended up creating a planner to outline future lapbooks with.
This has become a big help, since my husband will be working on a lapbook project with our child and it was hard explaining to a “left brain” how to create a somewhat “right brain” project.
With this planner, it helps him organize a lapbook a little bit easier though it helps, I have a “sample” lapbook already created for him to base his project on.
It’s with prayers that this planner can bless you and your lapbook projects and please definetely leave a comment or email how this planner has helped you or ideas of how to “tweak” it more.
*Updated* Here are two new links in case the above doesn’t work; I was surprised by the unexpected response and hope this can help make downloading more convenient.

For those of you who are wondering what a lapbook is and what I’m talking about,here’s a basic YouTube video to explain what a lapbook is, though I suggest you either google, check out the lapbook lessons group that I’m a part of, or if you are with,”The Homeschooling Lounge“, there is a great group there.
I also suggest you go by Tobin’s Lab where the original lapbook (Lap Book is trademarked by Tobin’s Lab, Inc.) was coined and you can download a great,”How/What a Lapbook is” from there, by clicking on this link.

This planner is SO valuable for me as a newbie to Lapbooking. We did our first lapbook
yesterday. It turned out great, but I really did need to be more organized; you know
to get all of the thoughts straight before starting.
Thank YOU!!

Kela,
That’s fantastic to hear that the planner was of use to you! I know what you mean…it feels almost daunting the first time to create a lapbook and it really helps to have something to “see”, particularly since there is SO much that one can do with a lapbook.
There is definitely no limit to what you can’t do.
Congrats on your first lapbook and it should be smooth sailing from here. Making the planner really helped me, because I kept seeing so much I wanted to do but at the same time, knew I needed to create a more cohesive, if not “non-book” lapbook…lol, so it just help to have a way to write everything down, get an idea of what to do and go from there.
Are you going to post your lapbook?? If so, would love to see it! I need to get the ones we are doing, posted.

Mary,
I’m sorry about the inconvenience; I was really surprised by the response and had used a free filehosting site but it seems that may not be adequate anymore.
Here’s a link to a new site that I’ve uploaded the planner to and I’m debating if scribd or docstoc will be a better site; I’ve never used them before.
