Ideas for using the Famous Figures:

• Learning the stories and then acting them out, whether formally or informally solidifies their knowledge into joyful learning experiences that can last a lifetime.
• Do your children need something to do with their hands while they listen to you read aloud? Let them play with their figure while you read a book to them.
• When they're done playing with the figures, string them on a piece of yarn and hang your living timeline on a wall!
