Paper People for Storytelling

While this isn't exclusively about Arabic or Islam, I think telling stories is a great way to convey both of these subjects. These little paper people help make stories come to life.

I have used these in Islamic tales, Goha fables (you can guess who he is), and general play.

Feel free to add beards where appropriate. ;)

You can print them on cardstock or laminate them. You can use contact paper if neither of those are available. I taped mine to craft sticks (like the ones you get from Popsicles) and we used them in an impromptu theater on the back of a chair. Very cute. Even the kids started telling stories. And because of the nature of these paper people, all the stories were either about Islam or Muslims. A nice break from Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.
