Make History Come Alive in Ancient Egypt, Greece, China, Rome, and Jerusalem with Famous Figures of Ancient Times: Movable Paper Figures to Cut, Color and Assemble!
History has never been so much fun! Yes, these action figures really move! All you need is this book, a hole punch, and easy-to-use fasteners for assembly. Move their arms and legs, use their swords and shields and act out the real stories of history or make up your own and travel through time with moving figures!
Famous Figures includes a short biography of each historic figure...from Narmer, who united Upper and Lower Egypt, to Augustine, a leader of the Church at the fall of the Ancient Roman Empire.
Children will begin to love studying the great men and women of the past. Aristotle, Julius Caesar, Cyrus the Great, Jesus, and others come to life as children create their moving figures.
Even very young children can use these moving figures to sense the wonder of history. Suitable for use at home and in school. Famous Figures of Ancient Times was recently awarded the Bronze Medal in the Children's Interactive Book Category from the 2009 Independent Book Publishers Awards.
