Description

This 250th Edition of Famous Figures of the American Revolution includes even more figures (5 more!) from the American Revolution! Kids will love getting to cut, color, and assemble these characters (British loyalists and patriots!) to act out history and bring the past to life. Each of the 15 figures comes in a pair, one brightly colored in historically accurate dress, and the other – ready for your own touch of color with colored pencils, markers, or paint. Although made from sturdy cardstock, these paper dolls have moveable parts, connected at the joints by mini metal brads – making them extra fun to interact with! You can even use string, pipe cleaners, or popsicle sticks to make your own puppets. The back of each paper doll is labeled for quick recognition.

Front pages include colorful, detailed biography cards (postcard-size) of each famous figure that can be cut out and displayed if you like. Also includes a long list of suggested books to use for read-alouds and independent reading. A great way to spark an interest in history and encourage creative play.

Includes these Famous Figures: Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, Daniel Boone, George Washington, John Adams, Molly Pitcher, Patrick Henry, Paul Revere, Soldier of the continental Army, Patrick Henry, Phillis Wheatley, British Soldier, Two Kettles Together (Tyonajanegen), Joseph Brant, and Thomas Jefferson. ~Nancie

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.
