LAP BOOKS

In the first section I added a story wheel for retelling the story and a number matching game to a trifold folder.

In the middle section sequencing cards and below that a picture of a mouse(laminated) and you have the child color the certain parts of the mouse the appropriate colors.

The other pocket is for the book or other coloring sheets I might add later.

I found the images through THIS blog. In the first section I put shapes and colors. I laminated them so they can be colored over and over again with dry erase markers. Below that is a puzzle.

In the middle section is ABC cards, a number matching game, and a memory game that you match shadows to the actual picture.

For the first section I made up some information cards and then found the picture cards online HERE (I also found other images from this site for the books)

The middle section I typed up some questions about the animals and then they can match the animals to the question. I left them uncolored so I could leave it as an activity they could do using the cards from the matching game to color the animals the correct colors. They can then also use them for sequencing of what order they were let out of their cages.

I used the pocket in the folder for the book.



On the backside I made these cages and matching colored keys(attached with vlecro dots) so they could "open" the cages up and find different animals hiding in the cages. I then ask is this an animal from the book. Then they can turn their head while you hide new animals and do it all over again.
