Making a Window Book - Walking by the Way

Note: Four Window Template can be found at Homeschool Share

When I was designing the Meerkat Lapbook, I needed something different. Something new! So, I tried a four window book (thanks Jimmie for the inspiration and template!)

Meerkats have different jobs within their mob (or colony). With three different jobs and a cover page, I knew I had the amount of information needed for a four window. I asked Breezy to draw up some meerkat pictures for me (and she did FANTASTIC!).

First, I cut all four pages out, and I used an exacto knife around the windows.

Then, you glue pages 1/6 to the cover/back.

Here are pages 1/6 (lines/the teacher) and pages cover/back

I only added glue (rubber cement, actually) on the backs around the window (making a frame). I didn’t put any glue on the solid sheets.

Then I stuck them together.

I repeated the same step with pages 2/5 and 3/4

So, now I had 2 sets of pages glued together.

In order to attach these, I used my handy dandy swivel stapler

And, viola! Here is what the finished book loooks like (after Elijah narrated to me and colored/cut/pasted the pictures in). He thinks this book is too cool.
