You have landed on the monthly Notebooking Round-up here at The Notebooking Fairy. Welcome!
All month long I collect the best notebooking links and save them for the first Friday of the new month in a post I call a round-up. You can see all of the round-ups here. I search for posts with photos examples, free printable pages, and how to videos. If it deals with notebooking, it is likely to end up here in the Notebooking Round-up. Enjoy the links for this month. And if I missed something, please let me know in a comment or email.
Free Printables
Civil War Study at These Temporary Tents and construction equipment pages also by Aadel but at her 2nd blog Homeschool Commons.
Monet and Van Gogh at Harmony Art Mom
Valerie at The Crafty Classroom is now making notebooking pages. Currently she has some free printables for dinosaurs, character, writing, ancient history, and some great generic pages. She makes gorgeous freebies, so be sure to add her link to your bookmarks.
Jolanthe created some simple draw and journal printables over at Homeschool Creations. These are great for beginner notebookers.
Barb shares a lovely printable for comparing similar works of art: boating paintings by Cassatt and by Winslow Homer.
Homeschool Swag has some beautiful freebies:
Another new-to-me blog is {School} Days Gone By, written by Tamara. She is using Heart of Dakota and shares the full color notebooking pages she creates over at her account on HSLaunch. They seem to be all American history pages.
Over at New Beginnings blog, the 2 Dynamic Moms share printable packet for artist study. It features one page for each of ten different artists.
Design Your Homeschool has both generic templates and some history pages for the Middle Ages (Alaric the Visigoth, Attila the Hun, Genseric the Vandal, and Theodoric the Ostrogoth).
Anyone studying penguins in July? Here are some free printable pages.
Practical Notebooking Stories
Amy shares her second grader’s wonderful notebooking pages on the parts of speech. There are so many thing to love about these pages. They are totally homemade and incorporate minibook elements, photographs, and even images cut from comics. This is wonderful notebooking!
Belinda is a homeschool mom with many years of experience, so I really value her ideas about Notebooking for Students Under Eight.
I like this notebooking post at Fruit in Season that tells how Christine shifted from a classical to a more eclectic and relaxed approach in her homeschool. Notebooking has been a method that has worked for her children, especially for geography.
Belinda Letchford has updated her site Live Life With Your Kids. It looks great! And she has written a fantastic notebooking overview with lots of photos. My favorite part is that all of her notebooking pages are made with “plain paper” no templates are needed!
Mud daubers found their way onto nature journal pages over at Academia Celestia. These are great examples of nature notebooking and using whatever you find as your homeschool curriculum.
The Notebooking Fairy swooned at Stef Layton’s post about notebooking for two reasons.
1. It has photos of five different freebies here, all used in a single literature study. Wow! Those look great!
2. Stef said, “The beauty of notebooking is all about learning not about the grade.” Awesome, Stef! Put down the red pen and enjoy learning.
Rebecca demonstrates the ways to use Pear Educational Products in notebooking and lapbooking projects over at Homeschool Mosaics. These DIY, blank paper products are specially designed for children’s creative projects. See the books in action for her children’s Paths of Exploration lapbooks which she mounted into notebooks.
In case you missed it, I wrote a guest post over at Homegrown Learners on the topic How to Get Started with Notebooking. If I may say so myself, this post is a perfect starting point for those new to the method.
Sarah over at All That’s Goood blog uses lots of notebooking with her three boys, so she has been featured often here in the round ups. This month she has two fantastic posts:
Notebooking for Mom
Valerie’s post over at Hip Homeschool Moms is A Peek Inside our Homeschool Binder.
New Beginnings homeschool blog shares eight free planner pages for moms who like to create their own unit studies.
Jamie uses journaling to keep the lines of communication open with her daughter. See her Mommy & Me Journal post for more details.

thanks for the mention – and great notebook pages !!
Great list, once again, Jimmie. I’ll be spending some time checking out all these posts. Thanks for including me!
Hey! Thanks for the mention! I’ve got several world history pages too and now I’m making some that go along with american biographies from Profiles From History 2&3 from GeoMatters. They’ll go well with ANY american history study though
I’m making some math board pages also, that will go along with my K4/K5 curriculum I’m writing right now. All the pages I make are full color using a digital scrapbooking program, so they take a good deal of time….so bear with me as I am slowly releasing them. 
I have so much to explore here, can’t wait! Thanks for the link!
Great stuff Jimmie! I’m excited to dig into all these free resources and ideas.
Thanks for including me. And for the compliment on my printables.
I just finished a US Geography Notebook free to download. Scroll down to US State Notebook: http://noorjanan.blogspot.com/p/montessori-world-study.html
I haven’t even blogged about it yet, or officially shared it
Thank you for all this wonderful info and resources!
