We have finished our study of the book Caps For Sale. I remember reading this book when I was little and loved it!! We balanced caps on our head, made banana treats, completed a lapbook and we had fun ”monkeying” around!!
Here is our lapbook.! When I make lapbooks I usually combine my youngest child’s work (age 3) with my oldest child’s work. They enjoy each of their own sections and love putting the book together with each other since they work on them together during the day/week.
The resources are from www.homeschoolshare.com
For this page I stapled the ziplock bag directly onto it in order to keep the small playing pieces together.
My youngest had to count the number of hats, we talked about the value of fifty cents and made monkeys!!
My oldest did a whole week long study on the book. I took all his pages of work and staples them together!
This was the fun part! I cut a part sentences from the story and my oldest had to make a cap for each sentence and then put them in the correct order to summarize the story. He loved this one!
And we tried balancing 16 caps on our heads!! This was so much fun!! We are not sure how the peddler did this in the story!
We also decided to make “monkey pops!” We put bananas on a stick, stuck them in the freezer for a couple hours.We dipped them in chocolate that I put in the double boiler. Next the kids added sprinkles to them.
Their final creation!!
