Perfect for Clothes Unit Study

May 13, 2025 - By Nora Wufrom Chicago, IL

We purchased this item for the closing project for our clothes unit study. They were the perfect size for our preschoolers. They decorated/dressed them to What they want to be when they grow up. The project was a hit and everyone loved it.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Jumbo People

August 03, 2024 - By Lindsey Dardenfrom Concord, CA

We purchased these for our preschool class. They did some really cute decorating and were displayed at open house. We liked the size of them for our little kid's hands as they had more space than the small people. We liked them so much we bought more. This year we would like to do them twice to compare at the beginning of the year and then end. Great purchase! The only thing I would love is if they made plain clothes that the children could decorate.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great resource

All About Me Theme

April 29, 2023 - By Michele Botsfordfrom Monrovia, CA

I love these large size people cut outs! They are the perfect size for my 3-4 year old students. The various colors is also awesome. The students can pick which one looks like their skin color.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great for diversity

October 21, 2016 - By TeacherTimeSaverfrom Port Huron Michigan

Their skin tone people are great for our kindergarten social studies unit! Being able to have the students choose the cut out that looks mostly like them gives them a sense of ownership! They also are a teacher time saver! I will order every year!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

These large people shapes are great for little ones to decorate using any collage materials and learning the similarities of all people no matter what color there skin types. These are great for creative self expression and story telling at share time

Great for little hands doing big things.

October 04, 2015 - By Purplefrom CA

The jumbo people shapes are perfect for little ones. They feel that they can do big things, and they can. They can create themselves, someone else, or, an imaginary friend. They can decorate any way that they like.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Perfect for hands-on learning

June 24, 2012 - By roxyfrom San Antonio

I'm a secondary school teacher and use the jumbo people shapes to help students understand literary characterization. My students select a character from their chosen novel and dress the shape to reflect the character's personality. In addition, they have to write a character profile based on quotes taken from the novel. The one year I didn't do this activity, I heard complaints from the students. Great product.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great for Pre-k and Kindergarten

February 27, 2012 - By AliJoyfrom New York

This is a great introductory activity to the new school year for early childhood grades. You can read books and discuss how we are all alike and all different. At the end of the unit the children can select a person and decorate it using many other materials from Lakeshore to create themselves. When the children were finished I created a world and taped the finished children around it and hung it up on the door. To this day I still get rave reviews about the children's artwork!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

perfect for arts and crafts

February 20, 2012 - By kinuekofrom san jose, ca

my kids love to decorate these fun people shapes. all you need are some paper scraps and other misc. art supplies to create some really great people. sometimes we use fabric scraps to create more realistic clothing. sticker shapes are also great as they are convenient to place on the body to create patterns of clothing, buttons, etc. they are also very sturdy and thick so they stand up to glue, paint, buttons and other wet or heavy craft items.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Fun for "All About Me" activities

August 02, 2010 - By Chrysanthemumfrom Raleigh, NC

We used a variety of materials to decorate these for "All About Me". The different shades of color were perfect for students to create "themselves". They got to share why they put different things on "themselves" afterwards!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

A real imagination key

August 02, 2010 - By Indigofrom Maryland

My daughter first brought home one of these people shapes from pre-K. It was wonderful that she and all her friends had a paperdoll that they custom made to look LIKE THEM. She asked for the set the next time we were at Lakeshore. She went through one set creating 24 very well decorated people. I gave her scraps of fabric and other baubles and ribbons. We're on our second set of these. Her friends came over and they spent the entire morning creating more of these paper dolls. It's a great way to unlock the imagination!

Yes, I would recommend this product.
