Are you studying the Middle Ages and the Renaissance? Do you need a quick and imaginative craft? This resource includes images of 11 famous heroes from this era that you can fashion into articulated paper dolls. Each hero comes with 2 paper dolls, one that is in full color and ready to be cut and assembled, and one in black-and-white that is waiting for your artistic inspiration to color and decorate before assembling. Each page is perforated, and every piece of the doll’s details indicates where to assemble. Instructions are located in the back. You will need scissors and something to assemble with, like brads or string. A booklist is included that can be consulted to learn more about each person. Along with the booklist, there is a link (FiguresInMotion.com) that will take you to a website with additional resources like coloring pages and activities. All dolls are printed on durable cardstock. Each doll has a paragraph or two of information and fun facts about them. 55 pgs, paperback. ~Rebecca

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.
