Island of the Blue Dolphins Lapbook Finished!

We finished Island of the Blue Dolphins and LOVED it!

The kids did a great job on their lapbooks. The

templates you see here that are not included in the

freebies I'm offering can be found here....

Lapbook Lessons

Also, the basket mini-book "Karana's Food", I had to

modify the size to fit unto a side section of the lapbook.

This was one of the mini-books I found at

Lapbook Lessons.

The red lapbook is my 10 year old son's and the

blue one is my 13 year old daughter's.

Island of the Blue Dolphins Lapbook

We are currently reading Island of the Blue Dolphins while using a unit study from Learning Adventures, A New World of Adventure.

I hope you enjoy putting this lapbook together as much as we are. If you think of another mini-book that you'd like to see added please let me know by leaving a comment. I'll post pictures of our completed lapbooks as soon as we are finished.

I just found another Free Island of the Blue Dolphins Lapbook. I'll be using a few of these mini-books in our lapbook as well. I love finding free resources!
