Welcome!
In this video, we create an interactive Pet Shelter lapbook for children.
This printable project helps kids play, imagine, and learn about caring for animals through creative storytelling and hands-on crafting.

You can print everything at home and assemble it step by step with this video.

🧰 Materials You’ll Need
• A color printer
• 30 sheets of matte paper for printing (photo paper recommended), 180–250 gsm
• Glue
• Scissors
• Self-adhesive Velcro dots
• Laminator and laminating sheets (optional)

⸻

🖨 Print Settings (very important)

To make sure nothing gets cut off and the colors look their best:
• Set Scale to 100%
• Choose “Fit to page” or “Fit printable area”
• Turn off options like Crop, Fill page, or Borderless
• Select High / Best quality in printer settings
• Print in portrait orientation

These settings help the template print correctly on different paper formats.

✂️ Preparation & Process
1. Cut out all the pieces.
2. If you plan to laminate, first separate the pieces that can be laminated from those that cannot.
This is clearly marked on the pages.
3. For laminating:
• After cutting, laminate the required pieces.
• Then cut them out again, leaving a small ~2 mm border around the edges to prevent peeling.
4. Attach the Velcro dots to the marked spots:
• First stick the rough (hook) part to the base.
• Place the soft (loop) part on top of it.
• Then press the piece onto it.
5. I recommend pre-folding all elements that need folds (doors, envelopes, etc.) before assembly.
This will make the final process much faster and easier.
6. The rest of the assembly process is shown in the video step by step.
