Folding the folders 1. Gather the nuber of folders required for your particular lapbook. 2. Open up each folder and flatten it out. 5. When your child has filled up the first two folders with the inibooklets, take the two folders and apply a generous aount of glue to their flaps. Stick the together. Now you are ready to prepare the for the storage syste. Do the sae for the rest of the folders as they are coted. 3. Take the right side and fold it all the way over until the tab is just before the iddle crease in the folder. Do not overlap this crease with the tab. Making a storage syste for your lapbook(s) This ethod of storage not only keeps your lapbooks fro getting lost but also keeps the neat and readily available to show to dad, grandparents, friends, etc. When they are not being shown off, just place the binder on your bookshelf! 4. Fold the left hand-side over just to the crease but not overlapping it. Your folder now has two flaps. We like to run a ruler down each fold to ake the fold neater and flatter. Do steps 3 and 4 to the reaining folders. Now it is tie to begin your lapbook. Roll out enough duct tape to go across the folders lengthwise. Put duct tape sticky side up. Place binded edge of lapbook on the duct tape (no ore than ¼ inch!). Then stick duct tape to the other side again about ¼ inch. There will need to be enough tape to hole punch. Stick duct tape into hole puncher but be careful not to punch holes in your folders. It will look like this. Store folders in 3-ring binder.
