Apples lap book

Here is another lap book that we made several years ago, but it was one of our favorites! We got this lap book as a freebie from Live and Learn Press, and it is still free-- five years later! It is slightly different from the one we have, some of the drawings and graphics, but overall it is very similar. I hope you enjoy seeing our pictures, and will go and get this great freebie for yourself!

Front cover:

We printed with apples and paint, and made an apple acrostic,

which says:

Apples are...

Amazing

Pretty

Plentiful

Lava Colered (my daughter's spelling!)

Excellent for you

Did you know...? We wrote facts about apples that we found, such as...

"Did you know... that the apple blossom is the state flower of Michigan?"

-Prediction results- how many seeds will be in my apple-

She guessed 5, and there were actually 8.

We decorated the folder with apple stickers that we had, apples we colored, apple sayings, and other apples in the freebie. It was very interesting to make, and we learned quite a lot! Let me know if you try it and what you think. Thanks, Live and Learn Press for a great lap book!
