Two little black birds,
(Hold hands out fingers spread) Back on the hill. Happy together. Together still.

Procedure: Today I decided to just do one part of the lapbook at a time instead of setting up the 6 stations at the table.  This way we didn't have to do it all at once.

1. Open file folder and twice fold (fold one end toward the middle crease then fold the other end toward the middle crease) in the sides so you can open the folder in the middle with the two doors on each side. 
   
2. Glue 1 piece of white construction paper in the middle.
3. Cut the 2 black pieces of construction paper in half long-wise.
4. Glue one half on each side of the open lapbook and on each side of the closed lapbook.
5. Let the child complete the following activities: coloring (white printing paper with a 3"x3" spider drawn in the corner, black crayons), painting (white construction paper, paint brush, black paint), markers (white printing paper with a 3"x3" bat drawn in the corner, black markers), stickers (white printing paper, black sticker), colored pencils (white printing paper with a 3"x3" car drawn in the corner, black colored pencils), play dough (black play dough, play dough tools).
6. Let your child start with painting (so it will dry on time) and work on the other activities ending with play dough (so you will have time to cut while he plays). Child should fill as much of each paper as possible with pink (the picture and the blank space). 
   
    Markers
   
   
    Stickers
   
   
    Play Dough
   
   
7. While child is playing with play dough; mom will cut a 3.5"x3.5" square around each colored picture (spider, bat, and car). Save the rest of the paper for the balloons.
8. Cut a piece of the white construction paper in half long-wise. Fold it in a tri-fold accordion style. Glue the 3 pink pictures on the 3 sections (all pictures should be one the same side of the opened paper). Glue the back of the bottom third of the paper to the bottom right of the lapbook.
   
9. Mom will trace and cut a 4"x5" balloon shape with the cardstock pattern out of the crayon paper, markers paper, stickers paper, and colored pencil paper (be sure to save the scraps). Then cut an 8"x10" balloon shape with the cardstock pattern out of the painted paper (be sure to save the scraps).
10. Tie the 3 foot balloon ribbon to the painted balloon and hang it on the wall with the ribbon in the clowns hand. (you can write "black" on the balloon before you hang it if you would like)
    
11. Tie the 4" balloon ribbons to each of the crayon, markers, sticker, and colored pencil balloons. Glue them in the center of the lapbook being sure to glue the top part of each ribbon too. You can tie all the ribbons together or leave them hanging.
12. Child will cut the scraps that were saved into 2" pieces (the shape doesn't matter).
13. Cut 1 piece of white printing paper in half so you have an 8"x4" piece. Fold it long-wise so it measure 4"x4".
14. Child will glue his paper scraps on the front of the folded paper and on both sides of the inside to form an black collage. Let it dry.
15. While the collage drys take the other half of the white construction paper that was cut in half long-wise earlier. Cut it down to 8"x4". Twice fold in the sides like the lapbook is folded (so you have kind of doors on the front).
16. Open it up and write "BLACK" as big as you can with glue bottle. Let your child add black glitter or black sequence to the letters. Let it dry.
17. While glitter is drying go back to the black collage and open it up. Let the child glue in the white "BLACK" letters. Let it dry.
18. While paper collage is drying work on the sensory collage.
19. Warm up the hot glue gun. Take the black felt piece. Have the child show you were he want's the yarn, ribbon, pom-poms, and 5 of the buttons. Mom will hot glue them on.
20. Then glue the felt sensory collage to the top right of the lapbook.
21. Go back to the glitter book and close both sides of the front cover. With the hot glue gun glue the extra black button on the middle of the front being sure to just put glue on one of the flaps. Glue the glitter book to the top left of the lapbook.
22. Go back to the black paper collage and glue it to the bottom left of the lapbook.
    

    

    

Black Crayon

I had T color page 111 in his A Beka Nursery Arts & Crats Book.  Then I cut out the crayon and glued it standing upright to the front of his lapbook.  I also added his name, age and the color black to the front.
