Anthony, Thomas Edison, Queen Min, Emperor Meiji, a French soldier of World War I, Amelia Earhart, Mohandas Gandhi, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, an American pilot of World War 2, Rosie the Riveter, Rosa Parks, John F.

Suggestions for using these figures to supplement your history curriculum, unit study, or as a stand alone activity:

• Color and assemble the figures during a history lesson, unit study, read aloud time, or just for fun.
• Decorate a time line with assembled figures. The figures are 12 to 13 inches tall, so you may want to put your timeline on the wall.
• Read a biography of someone in our books (reading lists are included) then make and use the figure as a prop to narrate a short summary of his or her life.
• Put on a play with historical figures interacting or make up your own stories. Use people from different time periods and try to imagine what they would say to each other.
• Include figures in a lap-book project or with a written report.
• Make puppets with string, craft sticks or pipe cleaners and put on a play.
• Produce a stop-motion animation clip using magnets or felt on the back of the figures.
