Famous Figures of the Civil War
Now children ages six to twelve years old can join the battle for liberty and make movable paper cut-out action figures of courageous men and women of the American Civil War. If you have a child who dreads reading but loves art and drama, the Famous Figures series is the perfect history supplement for him.

Each meticulous Famous Figures of the Civil War illustration is based on authentic paintings and sculptures. Colorful characters are printed on heavy cardstock with perforated pages for trouble-free removal, and a letter key is included on the back of each figure for easy assembly. Cut out the pieces, punch holes where directed, attach some common fasteners, and your Famous Figures of the Civil War 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 Civil War with colors as realistic or exotic as you wish.

Famous Figures of the Civil War: Movable Paper Figures to Cut, Color, and Assemble, by Cathy Diez-Luckie, allows children to perform historical reenactments or create new stories using ten of the most important figures of the Civil War. Figures include Abraham Lincoln, Clara Barton, a Confederate soldier, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Tubman, Robert E. Lee, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, and a Union soldier.

Fun and hands on history

We enjoy these activity booklets. While I read the story of the world that corresponds with this, the kids are busy assembling or coloring their famous figure of the era. I like that there is a colored and a non colored version so they can also design their own, gets them thinking a little about the fashion of the era.

Great resource!

This is a high quality book that will go perfectly with Classical Conversations Cycle 3 next year! So excited to use!

about the coolest thing ever made!

This is simply brilliant. I have to say that this is just the frosting on the cake of fun homeschool history. Its so nice to put the books down and just make something! plus i think it really helped bring the characters to life. Its always great when you can turn a very auditory subject into a visual AND kinesthetic one. I wish i could give this product more stars than 5, because it is truly stellar. you will NOT be disappointed. I hope to buy the others as time and finances permit.
