Each of the 21 famous people in this book comes in two versions: one pre-colored and one to color. The card stock pages make sturdy paper dolls, wearing historically accurate costumes. You may laminate the pages before cutting them out to strengthen them for younger children. We label the back of each paper doll with a letter key for easy identification and assembly. Cut out the pieces. Use a 1/8″ round hole punch to form a hole at each joint. Finally, place a mini brad through the joint hole and you have a moving historical character!
