Ideas for using the Famous Figures:

Play may not seem like "school work" but children internalize the lessons they learn through their imagination and active free time.
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!
