Directions for Flip-Flap Books and Lapbook •  The tri-fold Flip-Flap Book “I Can Help the Earth” and the small

Vocabulary Accordion Books are double-sided books.

•  For best results, make a MASTER COPY of these printables on your Home Printer FIRST.

•  Print the first side of the book. Then REFEED that page into your printer to print the back side of the book. This will allow you to fold the booklet correctly on the lines.

•  This may take a few tries depending on how your printer feeds the paper. Once you get the hang of it, it will be smooth sailing.

•  After your Master Printable is printed, use your photocopy machine to make front-to-back copies for your class.

•  You must supply your students with a File Folder to adhere their Flip-Flap books to. Or, you can have your students use these flip-flap books in their Science Notebooks.
