One final shot:
I get most of my lapbook templates from homeschoolshare. I print mostly blank ones and make up my own booklet ideas, but some come pre-printed. The Wyoming booklet is from homeschoolshare. The moccasin booklet is from homeschoolshare also.
My main problem with this lapbook is that I forgot to leave room for velcro pieces, so I'll have to find another way to latch it!
