Collection of paper cards with cut out figures attached which are able to stand on their own perhaps used for storying telling or creating a play city or processional scene. Figures and cards are cut from off white cardstock. A narrow strip is glued to both the cards and the figures so the cut outs may be flipped up into a standing position with the card serving as a stand.
