Colored Paper Kid Cut Outs - 5 1/2" (31 Pack)

Colored Paper Kid Cut-Outs - 5 1/2" turn into personalized self-portraits, family displays, friendship chains, classroom communities, story characters, name tags, and colorful bulletin boards without requiring teachers to cut every person shape by hand.

Help Every Child Create a Person With a Story

These pre-cut paper people give children a simple starting point for projects centered on identity, families, friendship, communities, emotions, and storytelling. Participants can add faces, clothing, hairstyles, names, accessories, and personal details that transform each blank shape into a unique character.

The assorted colors make it easy to build vibrant classroom displays without having to color the entire background first. Use the shapes individually for self-portraits and locker tags, or connect multiple figures to form friendship chains, family groups, neighborhood scenes, and collaborative bulletin boards.

Made from sturdy, acid-free construction paper designed to resist fading, these paper cut-outs can handle markers, crayons, collage materials, glue, fabric pieces, sequins, beads, and other lightweight embellishments. The pre-cut format saves preparation time and allows groups to move directly into decorating, writing, and learning.

As versatile paper shapes and cut-outs, they also work as game pieces, greeting card decorations, gift bag accents, reading-response characters, social studies visuals, birthday displays, and visual aids across a wide range of classroom subjects.
