Famous Figures of Ancient Times: Movable Paper Figures to Cut, Color, and Assemble by Cathy Diez-Luckie

History does come alive with this fun "make your own action figure" book for children.

The book includes descriptions and action figures of historical figures from Ancient Egypt, Greece, China, Rome, and Jerusalem. A great supplement for curriculum or a fun way to bring history lessons into the home. My children (6 & 8) really enjoyed coloring, cutting out, and putting together their action figures and enacting their own stories.

Not your average paper dolls, each action figures comes in show more pre-colored AND cut-and-color options, and has moveable arms and legs. The pages are sturdy enough to build the figures from the book or you can easily make copies of the pages on heavy-weight copy paper or cardboard.

Overall all impression= Thumbs up for this innovative and fun product! show less
