Blockhead People for the kids.

Make up several of these quick Blockhead people and leave them blank. When the kids come over let then color the faces with magic markers. For younger children I recommend non-permanent magic markers or paint pens. The block is 2.5" X 3.5" X 1". I included patterns for the feet and arms. I didn't use the arms on Frank. I used axle pegs for Frank's bolts.

If you want to duplicate Frank I show all three views in the pattern so you can copy the drawing.
The magic marker tends to run a little on the wood. You might experiment with coating the wood with spray acrylic first then applying the magic marker.
