Make 10 Jointed Paper Dolls from the Civil War The 10 famous people in this book come in two versions: one colored and one to color. The card stock pages make sturdy paper dolls from American history. All costume is from the time of the Civil War. You may laminate the pages before cutting them out to strengthen them. We label the back of each paper doll with a letter key for easy identification and assembly. Cut out the pieces. Use a 1/8? round hole punch to form a hole at each joint. Finally, place a mini brad through the joint hole and you have a moving historical character! Includes Facts and a Reading List There is a brief description of each person at the beginning of the book, along with a list of books to read aloud. The list of books may be a teaching resource for books to read while your child is making the jointed paper dolls.
