Last month my children enjoyed creating Lap Books in honor of St. Therese using the excellent St. Therese the Little Flower Faith Folder created by Holy Learning (previously Faith Folders for Catholics)!
In addition to the studying/completing the mini-books for our Lap Books we also enjoyed many books and activities in honor of St. Therese during the month of October. You can find them (and other ideas!) listed in this post: Ideas for Celebrating the Feast of St. Therese.
Here are some pictures of Twinkle Toes’ completed Lap Book:

My children love all of the paper dolls at Paper Dali, and Twinkle Toes decided to create a pocket on the back cover of her lap book for her St. Therese paper doll!
She used a lovely coloring page for the outside of the Paper Doll pocket.
Love it!!! So cute and wonderful!
Oh! Wow! I love all of your little additions! You guys did a fantastic job on it! I wish I had half of your creative thought. My poor kiddos have to put up with me, lol. Thanks for sharing it, Jessica.
It came out really cute. We're half way done over here but had to take some time away from it. Alas, there just never seems to be the time in the day to do everything.
The pictures of Twinkle Toes should inspire some little ones under my roof to get a move on…:)
My second girl will LOVE the pink folder! I haven't made ours yet, but I love Twinkle Toes' idea of a pocket for the paper doll! Looks like she got her mommy's creative gene!;)
Thank you for sharing! I know what I want to do next year with at least one child in my house. 🙂
Those are beautiful! Now Meg wants to do one!
Although I have no idea who St. Therese is, this is a beautiful lapbook for sure! I like all the illustrations and the delicate pink tone.
nice
