This page is full of Free Resources you can
use for making your Cricket Lapbook.  I've
also included custom Minibooks that we made
for our Cricket Lapbook. For our Cricket
Lapbook we wanted to learn a few different
things about crickets.  You can come up with
your own objectives for the study, but here
are a couple of ideas....
  • Where do Crickets live
  • What are the related species to
    Crickets
  • How do Crickets make sounds?
We read a lot of Cricket books for our Cricket Lapbook. Our favorites were The
Very Quiet Cricket, Chirping Crickets, and Old Cricket (though watch out for this
one, the story lines is great but we had to "Ad-lib" a couple of the words :)

We got the foundation for this idea from this website
This little cricket is soooo adorable, and you can run your fingernails
along the teeth of the comb to make the cricket "chrip" You can
find full instructions at the above website, the only thing we did
differently was use Floral wire for the legs, and add foam wings.
If you don't add legs the children can actually use the comb in their hair.
