Plastic Free July

How Do I Use These Resources?

It is up to you! This lapbook is a great project for home or school and you can do as much
or as little of your own research as you wish. You can put your lapbook together in any way
you want and there is plenty of scope for being creative. Either use it as a complete project or
to supplement your own topic about sustainability, plastic pollution or environmentalism.
There is so much information about plastic pollution available online as well as inspiration
for creative activities.

Use this pack as a starting point to stimulate your child’s interest and curiosity and then see
where your own research takes you.

How Can I Make a Lapbook?

You can make your lapbook out of a

1 cardboard wallet. Take the seams apart

carefully then re-fold it so that the front
flaps come together in the middle.

Stick the Plastic Free Lapbook Front Cover

on the front two flaps of the lapbook - it
will need to be cut lengthways down the
middle to go on top of the flaps so that
they can open like doors. Plala
