Things to Know
Hamburger Fold-Fold horizontally Hotdog Fold-Fold vertically
Dotted Lines-These are the cutting lines.
Accordion Fold-This fold is like making a paper fan. Fold on the first line so that title is on top. Turn
over and fold on next line so that title is on top again. Turn over again and fold again on the next line
so that title is on top. Continue until all folds are done.
Cover Labels-Most of the booklets that are folded look nicer with a label on top instead of just a
blank space. They will be referred to as “cover label.”
Folder 1
This placement key tells you the template goes in the first
folder at the top of the left flap.
How do I know where to place each template in the folder?
How Does I Use the Lapbook with Experience History Through Music?
Read a study guide and listen to the matching song. Then, do the booklet that
goes along with the lesson.
Lapbook Assembly Choices
(see photos on how to fold and glue your folders together)We recommend using Zip Dry Glue or Elmer's Extreme.
Choice #1 -Do not glue your folders together until you have completely finished all three folders. It
is easier to work with one folder instead of two or three glued together.
Choice #2 -Glue all of your folders together before beginning. Some children like to see the entire
project as they work on it. It helps with keeping up with which folder you are supposed to be
working in. The choices are completely up to you and your child!

Folding a Lapbook Base
Gather the number of folders required for the
project. Fold them flat as seen here.
Original fold line
For each folder, fold the left and right sides
inward toward the original line to create two
flaps. Crease so that the highest part of each
flap is touching the original line. It is important
not to let the two flaps overlap. You may want
to take a ruler and run it down each crease to
make it sharper.

Glue your folders together by putting glue
(or you may staple) on the inside of the
flaps. Then press the newly glued flaps
together with your hands until they get a
good strong hold to each other. Follow this
step to add as many folders as you need
for your project. Most of our lapbooks have
either 2 or 3 folders.

My child has made several lapbooks. Can I store all of the lapbooks together in one place?
Yes! A three-ring binder serves as a great place to keep your lapbooks. This method of storage
not only keeps your lapbooks from getting lost but also keeps them neat and readily available to
share with dad, grandparents, friends, etc. When you are through sharing your lapbooks, just
place the three-ring binder back on your bookshelf! Below are step-by-step directions of how to
prepare each lapbook to be placed a in a three-ring binder.
Supplies and Storage
Close the lapbook. Measure a
piece of duct tape that is as
long as the lapbook. Place the
edge of the duct tape on the top
edge of the lapbook. Then fold
the duct tape over so that it can
be placed on the bottom edge.
Make sure to leave enough duct
tape sticking out from the edges
to punch three holes. Be careful
when punching the holes that
you do not punch the holes in
the folder. If you do, that’s okay.
Then place in three-ring binder.
Depending on the size of your
three-ring binder, you can store
many lapbooks in it.
