Category Description for Famous Figures of _______ Times

If you are not a big arts-and-crafts type of teacher, no worries! You can easily add a craft project to your history studies with these consumable workbooks. The artwork is wonderfully done, and the craft is interactive, from designing to assembly to historical play. The books (designed to be disassembled and the figures cut out) are made with heavyweight cardstock. There are two sets of each figure: one in full color, and one with black-and-white line art to be colored in (definitely a colored pencil project). At the front of the book is a pictorial guide to each figure that includes a detailed biographical sketch and a companion reading list (read-aloud as well as independent reading options). There are complete instructions for assembling using small brads or eyelets, with a letter key printed on the back of each piece for easy assembly. A hole punch and fasteners are required for assembly and are NOT included. These time-era paper doll books would make a wonderful addition to a classical history program like Mystery of History, Story of the World, or BiblioPlan.

Daughter loves them
I wish it included what type of paper fastners to get, the ones I bought, the legs were so big i have to cut them.

At first I was upset that the people are not punch out, but after thinking of it, and upgrading my daughters scissors to a more grown up pair, I love it. she's getting cutting experience.

you will also need a hole puncher.

My child builds the characters then goes on to play with them. We pretend play together and use facts from Story of the World reinforcing what she has learned. They are great!

Awesome! Highly recommended
These have been a fun way to reinforce what we are learning in our curriculum. They're so cute on our timeline. There is also a really awesome suggested book list in the front of this activity book.

These paper dolls are the perfect addition to ancient history studies We're using The Story of the World volume 1 and these paper dolls are a perfect fit Each figure comes on heavy cardstock paper ready to be cut out There are two copies for each figure - one that is colored and a black and white copy for the child to color My daughter (age 6) loves cutting these out and putting them together to re-enact our history studies I'm anxiously awaiting more in this series!

I purchased Famous Figures for this last school year, my three oldest have done all of them and have asked for more! Ages 9, 8, and 6.

Do you need to buy brads separately to assemble? Thank you!
Jayron F

Yes, you will need to buy brads separately. In a pinch we just glued everything but they won’t be moveable then.

Janine Z
Is this considered religious material? Thanks!
Rebekah B

No. This is paired with "Story of the World" curriculum and neither are religious. There are a couple of biblical figures but there are also Jewish figures as well as other religions. Both this book and the SOTW cover multiple religions from a historical perspective versus a religious one.
