We absolutely love these paper dolls! My 10 and 6 year old daughters begged me to buy more. They have learned how to print them out, they spend time coloring them just the way they want and then put them together all on their own. They each have finished more than 20 different historical figures so far and have plans for many more. Even my 4 and 8 year old sons have finished quite a few of them and they are all excited to be able to play with “characters” that we have read about in history. I feel like this makes the retention that much stronger in their minds, as they play with them more than most of their other toys and the names and events are recalled in their minds often. Paper dolls are not so common or popular anymore, but they are such a wholesome, quiet toy that requires creativity to create and imagination to play with. I can’t thank you enough for merging learning and play in this way.
