The history of the Prophet Musa (as) is very long and detailed, so I chose a notebook format. I felt that there would be too much writing for a lapbook on this occasion. This project was written up by my sons, aged 10.
We studied the story, section by section, over many weeks, producing a page of work each week. In preparation for the project the boys read “Tell Me About the Prophet Musa (as)”, by Saniyasnain Khan, published by Goodwordkidz. This was to give them an overview so that the sections, when studied individually, would make sense from the start. Week by week I would select the next section then read it to them from Ibn Kathir’s tafsir, and Stories of The Prophets (Ibn Kathir), together we would make notes on the outline of the events, then they would write the section up. (www.tafsir.com)
The section headings:
1. Early Years, 2. Musa (as) leaves Egypt, 3. Musa (as) in Midian, 4. The first Revelation to Musa (as), 5. “Go to Firawn. Verily he has transgressed!”, 6. Musa (as) and Firawn, 7. Contest with the Magicians, 8. Allah punishes the people of Firawn, 9. Firawn is Drowned, 10. After the destruction of Firawn, 11. Allah talks to Musa (as), 12. Worship of the Calf, 13. The Case of the Cow, 14. Musa (as) and Khider (as), a)The Meeting, b)The boat, c) The boy, d) The wall, e) The Explanation
Each of the numbered sections above was studied during one session. The sessions were held once a week.
I presented the work inside a book of plastic pockets.
For most of the project the boys wrote on pages from www.notebookingpages.com. Sometimes they did illustrations to go with the work.
The map was copied from “Atlas of the Quran”
Each boy wrote his own page, and we put them in the folder side by side. So, two pages on each heading.
Towards the end of the project I decided to introduce some variety and have them type the work up.
For the last section on Musa (as) and Al-Khider (as), the boys made illustrated pages on plain paper, writing inside the outline shapes chosen to reflect the theme (boat, wall, question mark, headless boy).
This project took months to complete, as we worked on it slowly and , I hope, inshAllah, thoroughly!
Always Learning Resources 
assalaamu alaikum sister
mashallah,you have wonderful ideas!may Allah reward you abundantly,its really such a help and inspiration.
Subhanallah,i am busy with the story of Moosa(a.s) with my 7.5yr old daughter,and wanted to do a lapbook regarding it.i searched the net for resources,unfortunately didnt find much.Im glad you did one,was just wondering,do you think i should do it with her now,in just basic form as a lapbook,or should i just teach her the story now,and wait till she is older to do a lapbook about it?i am asking this because i feel that there is a tremendous amount to learn from the story of Moosa(a.s) and im not sure if i should go into depths about it at this age?

Walaykumsalaam,
JazakAllahkhair for your kind comments.
If your daughter is currently interested in studying the life of Musa (as), and would enjoy doing a lapbook on it now, then I would say go ahead and make a lapbook. As you say, you may not be able to cover the full depth of the story at the moment, but you can always return to the story at a later date and go over it again in a different way.
Making lapbooks should help make learning more memorable and fun, so it should always be beneficial, inshAllah.
