Product Overview

  • Designed with our easy cut system - 5 cuts or less. Requires only 3 cuts.
  • Printed on premium thick card stock. May be used unlaminated or laminated

The “Artists & Entertainers” card set (HMS-5089) brings 20 cultural icons—from Pablo Picasso and Coco Chanel to Bob Dylan and Oprah Winfrey—straight to the Montessori work rug. Each figure appears on two, ready-to-cut cards:

  • Portrait/Fact Card – a full-color image accompanied by a concise third-person biography that highlights achievements, context, and lasting influence.

  • “Who Am I?” Riddle Card – the same life story retold in the first person, ending with a question that invites children to identify the individual and verify their answer by matching it to the portrait card. HMS-5089 Artists and En…

What’s inside

  • 20 pairs of portrait & riddle cards featuring musicians, filmmakers, dancers, authors, designers, architects, and broadcasters—including Louis Armstrong, The Beatles, Martha Graham, Walt Disney, Igor Stravinsky, and more.

  • Two optional title cards (“Artists & Entertainers” and “Who Am I?”) for shelf display.

  • Cut-friendly layout sized for standard U.S. letter paper; trim lines ensure clean edges.

How it works in a Montessori environment

  1. Three-part-card matching: children place the biography below the portrait, then self-check with the riddle card.

  2. Control of error: consistent imagery, color coding, and the first-person clue structure guide independent work.

  3. Cross-curricular links: integrates seamlessly with other Timelines.

  4. Research springboard: every card ends with a natural prompt—“Who am I?”—that propels students to deeper investigation and presentation.

The individuals depicted in this series are specifically chosen and used to accompany the Timeline of Art (TL-034) and the Timeline of Music (TL-033).
