...so I posted it here and on the Bigger board.
I will be doing Bigger in the fall and was looking thru my schedule and noticed that some of the Science notebooking (unit 4 day 2, drawing and labeling invertebrates) will require a little larger sheet than you'd have in a typical notebook (not sure about History haven't got that far yet). SO I was just wondering if there were any suggestions about what I could use. What are some of you using?
Thanks!!

Wow! I've been using Bigger and didn't even notice that I needed to use larger paper. I just used regular 8x11. We're on unit 19 and we've used regular sized paper for all our notebooking assignments so far.

I keep a roll of drawing paper, you can cut it to whatever length you need. Very handy.

We did Bigger Hearts last year and always used copy paper. I like to put our dc's work in clear sleeves in their portfolios, and copy paper fits nicely. We did the drawing and labeling of the invertebrates on a sheet like that, and it turned out just fine. However, you can always use larger paper too, especially if you think your child would enjoy that. There are 9 x 12 pads of paper and 12 x 18 pads of paper sold at most places. For our younger children, if we used larger paper, we just folded it in half and 3-hole punched it after they finished to put it in their portfolios that way. They hang out a tad, but it works!

P.S. Here's a link to Miller Pads and Paper. They are very reasonable in prices and have just about everything you could possibly need under the sun!

Have you checked out Bare books? http://www.barebooks.com/ They have several sizes to choose from.

We've always used copy paper, too.

Here's Grant's page that I believe you're talking about. He didn't draw big pictures, but they all fit just fine.


When he drew the planets, he wanted to draw them to scale, so we used 2 pieces of paper and put them in the binder facing each other.

We too use copy paper and it has been fine. I wanted to make sure they would fit into our binders...but I have to say I never noticed that any assignments specified a certain size paper. Great attention to detail, familygirl!

Thanks everyone for replying...I need to clarify. The guide didn't specify a larger sheet of paper, but after reading the assignment I thought it would probably take a larger sheet to get all the drawings/diagrams to fit. I enjoy seeing what others have done and I appreciate everyone sharing.
