“Crea tu LAPBOOK sobre la Alimentación de forma Didáctica y Divertida / Como hacer un LAPBOOK”

This video offers a detailed, step-by-step tutorial on how to create a lapbook (also known as ladbot, stam, display, or mampa depending on the country) focused on healthy eating. Gilvia Sánchez, the creator, explains the materials, measurements, construction process, and decoration techniques to make an educational and interactive lapbook that visually presents nutritional information in a fun and engaging way.

Main Ideas and Concepts

Lapbook Definition and Names

The lapbook structure is known by various names worldwide (ladbot, stam, display, mampa). Viewers are encouraged to share what they call it in their countries.

Materials and Measurements

Base made from a recycled cardboard box (market packaging).
Main panel measurements: 45 cm x 40 cm (center), 45 cm x 25 cm (sides).
Folds are reinforced with additional cardboard pieces.
Covering materials include bond paper, metallic cardstock, frosted cardstock, and wrapping paper.
Foam pieces are cut and used to join parts firmly with hot silicone.

Construction Process

Reinforce cardboard box folds by gluing extra cardboard strips.
Cover the reinforced cardboard with bond paper.
Add decorative layers using metallic and frosted cardstock.
Cut foam into pieces to securely join lapbook sides.
Make precise cuts (~3 cm deep) on the structure to fit interactive elements.
Prepare and decorate cards to be inserted inside the lapbook.

Making Interactive Cards

Food and nutrition images are glued onto metallic/frosted cardstock with a 1–2 cm border to create depth.
Cards are folded and cut to create flaps that open and close.
Card fronts are decorated with titles and ribbons.
Cards are glued inside the lapbook in designated spots.

Accordion Fold Cards

Four colored cardstock pieces are folded in half; two pieces receive additional accordion folds.
Pieces are glued together to form expandable cards for presenting information.
Cards are attached inside the lapbook using hot silicone and tape.

Decorating and Adding Content

The lapbook features sections representing different food groups, illustrated with images of cereals, grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy, meats, sugars, fats, and oils.
Color coding is used to represent food groups:
- Yellow for cereals
- Green for fruits and vegetables
- Emerald green for dairy and meats
- Black for sugars
- Red for fats and oils
Two plates are created to differentiate between good and poor nutrition.
Plates are made movable using folded cardboard and “magic lock” (Velcro-like) closures.
Foods are attached to plates with magic locks to allow interactive sorting by children.

Final Assembly and Presentation

The food pyramid (or food top) is printed on two sheets, glued onto double-sided cardstock, backed with cardboard, and decorated.
The lapbook is personalized with images of a girl eating healthily, fruits, vegetables, and cutlery.

Detailed Methodology / Instructions

Materials Preparation

Use a recycled cardboard box as the base.
Reinforce folds with glued cardboard strips.
Cover with bond paper and decorative cardstock.
Cut foam into 8 pieces for joining.

Lapbook Base Construction

Glue foam pieces on folds for sturdiness.
Cut 3 cm deep slots where interactive cards will fit.

Card Creation

Glue printed images onto metallic/frosted cardstock with a 1–2 cm border.
Fold cardstock in half; mark and cut 3–4 cm flaps.
Fold flaps forward and backward to create a pop-up effect.
Glue cardboard pieces behind cutouts to add depth.
Decorate card fronts with titles, cardstock, and ribbons.
Attach cards inside the lapbook with hot glue.

Accordion Cards

Fold four colored cardstock pieces: two simple halves, two with accordion folds.
Glue edges to join accordion folds.
Attach accordion cards inside the lapbook with silicone and tape.

Interactive Plates

Create two plates representing good and poor nutrition.
Attach plates with folded cardboard to allow opening and closing.
Use magic lock (Velcro) pieces on plates and food images for interactive sorting.

Decoration and Final Touches

Print and assemble the food pyramid on cardstock.
Attach the pyramid and title to the lapbook side.
Decorate with images of healthy eating and utensils.

Engagement

Encourage viewers to comment on what they call the lapbook.
