Famous Figures of the American Revolution
In government schools, history tends to be a read-only subject. Thankfully, however, your home-schooled children have options. If you have a child who dreads reading but loves art and drama, the Famous Figures series is the perfect history supplement for her.

Each meticulous Famous Figures of the American Revolution illustration is based on authentic paintings and sculptures. Easy-to-assemble colored characters are printed on heavy cardstock with perforated pages for trouble-free removal. Cut out the figures, punch holes where directed, attach some common fasteners, and your Famous Figures of the American Revolution are ready to take center stage as your child reenacts momentous events in American history.

If your student is an avid artist, she will be pleased to discover that a colorable version of each figure is also included on the same sturdy cardstock. Fill in each Famous Figure of the American Revolution to be as realistic or exotic as you wish.

Famous Figures of the American Revolution includes figures of Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, Thomas Jefferson, Paul Revere, Patrick Henry, Molly Pitcher, George Washington, John Adams, Daniel Boone, and a soldier of the Continental Army. A detailed biography section provides key information about the revolutionary characters. A companion reading list for each figure is included for parent/teacher read-alouds and independent readers.

Fun and hands on history

We really enjoy these booklets/activities. While I read to them from the Story of the world, they are busy assembling a person that was a key figure in the era I am reading about. It's nice that they have both the colored version and one where they get to design their own...
The paper is durable enough to withstand handling, which is important with kids!

Great addition to cirriculum

This is a great addition to our American history lessons! It allows my daughter to “see” he people were learning about and act out lessons!

Good Activity

We really enjoyed this activity, but had a hard time finding the little brads to go into the product easily. Perhaps including them in the kit would be helpful! My kids enjoyed playing with the figures after they were completed.

Nice interactive book

It is fun for kids and easy to understand.
