A little change in the MUS Lapbook

This was suggested by my friend Chanin- to make little car shapes to write on, instead of the squares. I will still keep my square shapes for my older children. To make the cars like this, I saved the car shape to my computer,(I have the link at the bottom of this post), then I went into a program I have called Print Master (if you have Microsoft Publisher or equivalent that will do just as good) and adjusted the size-which turned out to be three per page. Following that, I printed the cars on three different card stock colors, cut out white circles to fit the top section and black ones for the tires (want the perfect size tire? I used a children's medicine cup and traced around it-lol-Hey, it worked!). After cutting and using a glue stick to hold everything in place, I covered them with lamination on both sides. The lamination is PERFECT when used with a dry erase marker -it doesn't leave any smudges or require you to wet the surface for cleaning. I made three sets so just in case some little cars get lost ( or towed away) we will still have a complete set:

Here's they are with the MUS Lapbook:

Here they are on the "street":
If you like the cars, here is the link to the pattern:

If you like the idea of cars, but not necessarily this one, Google "car outlines" and then click on images and you will have plenty to choose from.
