Our Flower Lapbook

The children are really into exploring outside and discovering all that ALLAH has given us, so I decided to at least do something productive as they get their hands dirty. For a while, the weather has been sunny and warm one day, cloudy and cool the next. AlhamduLILLAH we were able to get out and enjoy it.


I was inspired by LapbooksbyCarisa, but since I don't have a membership to Enchanted Learning anymore I had to find free worksheets elsewhere.

We started off with a PowerPoint presentation of the parts of a flower.

As we went through it, the children studied their flowers (and weeds, lol).




This is the front of our lapbook - it's nothing fancy and I'm sure some of you creative sisters out there can make it much better.




You can see the Parts of a Flower worksheet (pdf)which is a basic version for younger children so they don't have to stumble over the vocabulary and a word search that she hasn't completed yet.


The inside cover has vs 20-21 of Surah 9. At-Taubah with a pretty picture. Sorry it looks so small here. If you click it, you can enlarge it on my flickr page.





Next are several little booklets.


The one at the top left is a picture that my daughter drew. Just a basic picture to take up space.



Next, is another color page for labeling the parts of a flower (pdf).




The small matchbook in the lower left-hand corner can be labeled on the inside.

We also did a little origami (pdf). The pink tulip (above)is hers and the purple one is mine. They are very easy to make and now of course, she wants ME to make a whole garden for her!


There is also a comprehensive/reading section (pdf),she hasn't done it yet, we ran out of time and a coloring grid (pdf),and color by number pictures.


We made a flower (sort of) on the back with the answers for the comprehensive/reading section.














Also there is a bee/flower jigsaw that you can try - you have to download and save it.

Whew! That's it, I need to go lie down now, lol.
