📁How to Assemble a Lapbook

Wondering how to assemble a lapbook? All you need is a Manila Folder, glue stick and thick card.

1. Take a Manila Folder and open it out, trying to flatten the crease as much as possible.
2. Fold the left edge into the middle crease.
3. Fold the right edge into the middle crease.
4. Press down on the folds to ensure they are creased. 

✂️ Give Them the (Safety) Scissors

This template makes for a bonus cutting skills activity, depending on your students’ ages and abilities. 

With adult supervision, cutting skills help students work multiple muscle groups and their brains, plus:

• strengthen finger and hand muscles
• build dexterity and fine motor skills
• improve hand-eye coordination
• develop focus and attention.

All of these skills are necessary to use a pencil and a fork, button a shirt and tie shoes, write, type and swipe.

Scissor skills are brain and muscle skills!
