When my son was younger, we would learn much of our science by creating lapbooks. I would gather a number of our neighborhood children and we would study whales, pandas, and other creatures. The rewarding part for each child was to take home their own lapbook for show-and-tell. Even though my son is now a big high schooler and has outgrown lapbooking, I still LOVE cutting and pasting and creating. While I was working on World’s Largest Creatures patterns for you, I was delighted that my little friend, Ellie, was willing to be “hired” and helped me test all the 14 pages of these mini books. We had the most wonderful time together. We colored, cut, pasted, and glued and even had time to play two rounds of Battle Ship. Sad to say, I lost both times.
So what does World’s Largest Creatures include?
This collection of a printable book, puzzle book, and lapbook is the second bundle of My Animal Book Series. It features 8 fascinating animals, the largest of all species, and provides an excellent way to learn science for younger children.

What Is a Lapbook?
A lapbook is a combination of mini books that are organized in a file folder. These mini books are broken up into small bits of information about a topic the child is studying. It is an excellent way of learning, especially for younger children. A lapbook not only helps your child better remember the information they learned, but it also provides good reference material for reviews.
Additional Bonus
The word search puzzles added to this lapbook provide your student more time with the key words from the textbook while having fun searching for them. This reinforces the main thoughts from the book and helps to solidify the newly learned facts.
We trust you will enjoy learning about World’s Largest Creatures as much as we did.
