So fun for kids
I thought these were expensive for what they are, but my 5 and 7 year old are having so much fun decorating their own people using markers, washi tape, stick on gems, etc. They love the variety of skin tones.

Great for teaching all about me
I use at the beginning of the year when children first enter preschool and let them choose. But as a suggestion it would be nice if you would sell the clothing and dog separately. As to give children more choices and teachers more time so we don’t have to trace clothing if friends want to have same colors.

Paper people crafts
I’ve used these people cutouts for zillions of projects: creating story characters, kids making one to look like themselves, to talk about ethnic diversity, bulletin board decorations, directional signs, and more!

I love these!!!! They are so fun and my students are able to pick a person and make either themselves or sometimes a loved one.

I didnt realise theyd be such a hit!
I bought a set for my sons. we are multi racial, (I'm eskimo so my mom and I both have darker skin) but my boys are both very light skinned. I wouldve appreciated more light skin options as many of them are darker skinned. however, that didnt seem to bother my children. my youngest picked out the darkest skinned one and made his baby cousin who is of ethnic background. he was so proud to make 'baby jacob'. I glued them onto popsicle sticks after, and without suggestion, my 4 yr old immediately wanted to put on a puppet show. they both had so much fun!

I used this to create All About Me glyphs at the beginning of the year. The shapes are made from a durable material, and the color choice is nice as well.

very sturdy, great colors
These were of great quality. Nice and heavy, and the wide variety of colors was wonderful. Worked perfectly for my project of having a man "climb" up two strings.

Very sturdy, great variety
We used these people cut outs for an employee event with the theme 'Peace on Earth'. Employees wrote holiday messages of peace on each cut out, then they were strung with globe cut outs and displayed. They are heavy duty, not your normal cardstock.

fun for activities
The kids like to use them for arts and crafts.
I like to give children choices of people colors and it is surprising how many children do not pick out their own skin tone.
