Ideas for a Rosary Lapbook

Back in this post I talked about how much I like Holy Cross Family Ministries' Rosary coloring books.  They are reproducible for classroom use, so I used them to make a Rosary lapbook.

I started with a regular sized blue file folder, refolded so that the sides met in the middle.  I used a hole punch  to make a hole for every bead of the Rosary around the edges of the file folder, and used an exacto knife to cut out the cross.  You could run your finger along the edge of the folder and pray the Rosary if you wanted, and it looks really cool too :).
There is so much content available in the coloring books, so this one is just about the Luminous Mysteries.
Here is an inside view:
I included some info on how to pray the Rosary in a pocket:
I also copied the coloring book pages on a slightly reduced scale and then created a small coloring book inside:
The coloring book is on a cardstock hinge that opens to reveal activity pages below:

I also have pull out cards with all of the prayers needed to pray the Rosary.
And a little pocket for prayer intentions to remember as you pray.


On the back, I included a coloring page with all five mysteries to summarize the contents.
The possibilities are endless!
