Between our recent road trip<\/a>, starting back to school, and our upcoming move, I’ve fallen behind on reviewing the curriculum and other amazing products<\/strong> Timberdoodle sent me earlier this summer, so I’ll be playing catch-up on the blog this week with three back-to-back reviews.<\/p>\n

\"box<\/p>\n

First up, we have a delightful set of activity books featuring Famous Figures<\/a> of History.<\/p>\n

\""Famous<\/p>\n

Inside each, you’ll find full-color, fully jointed versions of historical characters from different eras<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"historical<\/p>\n

Each design is also available in blackline, so students can color their own<\/strong>, if they prefer:<\/p>\n

And the book includes a short biographical description of each figure<\/strong>, perfect for reading aloud as your children craft.<\/p>\n

\""Famous<\/p>\n

Since my younger kids are studying American History in school this year<\/strong>, we decided to start with Famous Figures of the American Revolution<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\""Famous<\/p>\n

It contains likenesses of the founding fathers<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\""Famous<\/p>\n

… as well as Betsy Ross, Molly Pitcher, and a Continental soldier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\""Famous<\/p>\n

Here’s how they look when they’re finished — and this is less than half the figures included in the book:<\/p>\n

\""Famous<\/p>\n

We still have George Washington, Patrick Henry, Paul Revere, Molly Pitcher<\/strong>, and all the black-line masters left to do.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking I should mount the finished figures to sticks and let the kids put on a puppet show<\/strong> based on what we’ve been studying in our history lessons.<\/p>\n

\""Famous<\/p>\n

I was planning on saving the other titles in this series until we moved on to those time periods in school, but my kids have no intention of waiting that long. <\/strong><\/p>\n

As soon as they finished making the figures in the first book<\/strong>, they were perusing the others, deciding which they wanted to do next. They’re planning to start tomorrow, once they’re done with all their other schoolwork.<\/p>\n

Any of these books can be bought alone, but they are also included in Timberdoodle’s graded curriculum kits<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
