story of the world volume 2 lapbook


The following lapbook components are a completion of the wonderful lapbook components that Alia started. Due to circumstances out of her control, she was unable to complete Volume 2. I offered to complete them for her and make them available for free here on my blog.

I've included the pictures of our lapbook. We decided to make a castle to hold all of our SOTW chapter elements. This is two file folders glued back to back. I spray painted the file folders gray--it took four coats as I was trying to cover a purple file folder. I would recommend spraying the regular manilla colored file folder. I think the colored ones have a slight finish on them that made it hard for the paint to adhere. I let my girls each choose a "castle door" image and we printed it on white paper and glued it to our lapbook. The knights are stickers. And the letters came from my trusty pile of scrapbook goodies.

To download The Story of the World Volume 2 components for chapters 1-23, see Alia's blog. I hope you and your children enjoy lapbooking together! Thanks for stopping by!

SOTW Volume 2 Chapters 24-42

Many hours went into this project. If you feel compelled to leave any donation amount, see the "tip jar" on the side bar of my blog. All donations received will go towards the ministry my husband and I have of sending couples to a week long marriage retreat at The JH Ranch. Blessings to you!

Feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you love about lapbooking! If you have a specific question, feel free to email me at johnstonhouse at gmail dot com.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

I am about to START SOTW Vol. 2, and I was getting stressed! (I gather EVERYTHING before starting, so I don't lose steam when I have to go and find something.)

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart!

We love lapbooking, but I have NO CLUE how to make the components like you have.

Teary eyed, I attempt to leave a comment that reflects my awe at the body of Christ! When one part of the body is hurting, another comes to its rescue.

You are a beautiful representation of the body! Ironically, we just arrived on our Story of the World journey, on Chapter 24 of volume two, and are very happy to visualize the completed lapbook. We are new to lapbooking and homeschooling. We love what you have done! Hopefully, we can continue this lapbook thread with the remaining volumes!

THANK YOU!
