All About Ping Lapbook

If I had one word to describe this lapbook, it would be irresistible! All the peek-a-boo flaps to lift and moveable parts with brads make it interesting and fun for your students; you'll even have a hard time resisting the urge to turn a wheel, dunk a duck, open a boat pop-up, and flip the flaps! It includes 18 minit books, and definitely puts learning right in the hands of your child.

You do need to note that some of the cutting will need to be done by mom (some of the books are hard but worth it!), and that you need to have plenty of brass fasteners on hand to complete it.

My son can't wait to do his own fabulous Ping Lapbook, and I'm excited, too... because I don't have to reinvent the wheel!
