Adding hands-on projects and crafts can liven up any history subject. Don't just print out and color these (well, you can do that if you want too!)but make them a work of art.
Use different types of materials such as colored pencils, chalk or watercolors to finish your picture.
Make it 3-D by adding fabric, ribbon, yarn or anything else you can thing. Create a masterpiece!
