For the 2008-2009 year we are going to be studying cultures and geography. I went and bought a country study lapbook, but wasn't happy with the graphics. Soooooo.....I am in the process of creating lapbook and notebooking materials for our study and will be adding to this collection over the next couple of weeks. Besides more lapbooking materials, I will be adding notebooking pages for those that don't have the time or inclination to do all the cutting & pasting lapbooks entail. :-)

We plan to use the lapbook style printables not only for lapbooks, but also to add a bit of dimension to our notebook pages.

These lapbooking downloads are our gift to you.
You can download them for free!
However, if you really like them after downloading and would like to help our site, the suggested, voluntary donation for the entire pack is $ 5.00.

LOTS more to come in the next couple of weeks! Please check back soon for updates and extra goodies. When I am finished with the entire set, I will offer a single file download for your convenience. New additions will be added to the top of the page. Oldest items will be towards the bottom.
