The beautiful and historically accurate paperdolls are ideal for Catholic homeschool children to role play the lives of saints while learning about the historical times in which they lived. St. Thérèse as a child, as a teenager, as a nun - each phase of her life brings a lesson as the student acts out her life. And they are not just for girls: the Jesuit missionary "blackrobes," the valiant soldiers, in the story of Blessed Kateri, and the awesome St. Michael in the story of St. Joan of Arc, all present roles for boys. The quiet of the convent, the dangers of the primitive New York forests, the clash of the battlefield - every environment on earth can give rise to to the friends of God we call saints.
