I was just given a link for lapbooking, which is popular among some homeschoolers. Lapbooking, related to scrabooking, came along after the kids had their diplomas, so we never got to do this activity. We did use the Waldorf 'main lesson book' method, which made for nice 'souvenirs,' but I think the lapbooking technique would have been fun, too.
That this linked lapbook is about rabbits, put me in mind of our 'late' bunny: Attila the Bun, aka Pat, the Bunny. She was a character, and gave me lots of 'material' for documenting bun behavior. One point was, bunnies and cats don't mix ... because bunnies don't put up with cats. Bunnies chase cats, biting their heels, nipping their bottoms (bunnies are light on their feet and very quiet), and scaring the whiskers off the innocent pussy cats who were just sitting there minding their own business.
In our lapbook on rabbits, we could have included pictures of scampering cats, printed-out-video-frames of Pat 'greeting her breakfast' by whipping around the room and 'twitching' into the air. We could have included chips gnawed off chair and desk legs, strips of cardboard torn from boxes, and photos of munched-upon books.
Asimov's Chronology of the World -- minus some corners.
Pat's been in bunny heaven for seven years now, but we still have many mementoes of her.
Here's Attila trying to get in the house to get after Merrie, who was a silly wee cat.
Pat, the Bunny was such a rascal.
