Flower Lapbook or craft

This is a flower craft the kids did today. For a lapbook you could make a one page booklet or accordian booklet out of the flowers middle and have them write names of flowers or a sentence about flowers. You could do the same for the sun and write the word sun or sentence.
For an older child, if they are learning another language they could write the words or sentences in that other language inside the booklets. You could also make the flower leaf into a booklet to write "leaf or leaves". (I thought of all this when we were done. ~smile~)
Hope this helps someone.

Tom's Fish

Today the kids made fish out of envelopes. They sealed the envelopes and then cut off one end for the mouth and used that cut off piece for a fin. Now you can open up the fish from the mouth side.
The picture below is of Tom's fish. He glued them inside a file folder and used popcorn kernels and beans for the sand. He used the colored foam with the sticky backs for the seaweed.
Here is an idea for you. If you make these fish and put it together like a lapbook, you could put a booklet in each "mouth" (maybe shaped like another fish).
Hope this helps!!
