Set sail with Leif Eriksson, ride into battle with Joan of Arc or Genghis Khan, or befriend birds, beasts, and people with the peaceful Francis. These movable paper figures to cut, color, and assemble allow children to perform their own historical re-enactments, or even create new stories using famous people from the Middle Ages. 

The activity book presents 10 historical figures—kings and queens, warriors, explorers, and religious leaders—in both pre-colored and color-them-in versions, to cut out and assemble into movable action figures. A brief biographical note on each figure is also included, along with a list of resources. 

This set is an excellent accompaniment to The Story of the World, Volume 2. And in addition, your house is too quiet. It needs a reason for someone to yell, “Mommmmmmm! Tell Francis of Assisi to stop beating up Genghis Khan!” Anticipating your needs, we happen to offer such a reason.
