This resource includes the images of 21 famous people from this time era that you can fashion into articulated paper dolls.

Each page is perforated and every piece of the dolls details indicates where to assemble. Instructions are also located in the back. You will need scissors and something to assemble with like brads or string. Included is a booklist that can be consulted to learn and read more about each person. Along with the book list, there is an internet link (FiguresInMotion.com) that will take you to additional resources like coloring pages and activities. All dolls are printed on durable cardstock. Each doll also has about a paragraph or two of information and fun facts. 96 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of Famous Figures of the Middle Ages & Renaissance
Make 21 Jointed Paper Dolls from the Middle Ages & Renaissance!
Our newest book is a combination of Famous Figures of Medieval Times and Famous Figures of the Renaissance plus an extra figure. You can now get all the medieval and Renaissance puppets in one book!
Cut out the arms, legs, and body parts. Then put them together with a hole punch and mini brads to make a paper doll that moves. This fun hands-on history craft will inspire your children to want to learn more about the famous people of the Middle Ages & Renaissance. Includes a short description about each person along with a list of books to read aloud. Perfect for kids who love crafts and hands-on activities. A great addition to your study of the Renaissance. Hours of fun and educational play!
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.
