Dress the Community Helpers Paper Dolls

Print the page and read the directions with your child: Color the firefighter clothes. Cut out each piece along the dashed lines. Glue them on the paper doll on the next page. Afterward, talk about what they wrote or drew.

A cover and 12 pages, two for each of six helpers: a firefighter, doctor, chef, police officer, construction worker and artist. The first page of each pair shows the helper's clothes and one tool to color and cut out, such as a helmet, coat and hose nozzle. The second page is a paper doll with a line for the child's name and a sentence like "I am a firefighter." The directions on the page read: Color the firefighter clothes. Cut out each piece along the dashed lines. Glue them on the paper doll on the next page.

Yes, both. We made it for 1st Grade Community Helpers, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with different types of jobs. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

It has a cover and 11 activity pages, so it can be used one page a day over two weeks.

3 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 1st Grade students, roughly ages 6-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
