1,200+ Figures from History at Your Fingertips {A Timeline Collection Review}

Timelines, a Book of Centuries, matching games, hands on history projects, notebooking, copywork, history games, trivia, and more.  All of these can be made easier with the helpful Timeline Collection:  A Collection of Historical Timeline Figures by Homeschool In The Woods!

We received this fantastic, flexible collection for review recently, and I am so excited! The quality of the material is superb and uses of them extend beyond just timelines  (You can download a free sampler and see for yourself!)

We Are Using It Already and Excited for Much More to Come - There's Just SO Many Ways to Use This!

Looking through our Timeline Collection:  A Collection of Historical Timeline Figures, I have already found images to use for a Bingo-like review of Composers...

... and a Two-Finger Touch game based on artists for when my children and I begin our AMP (Art-Music-Poetry) studies again this fall.

I also helped my son find indexes for one of his favorite time periods - the Middle Ages...

...and  have given my son free reign to print out and color some of his favorite history figures to put in his book of inspiration for novels he is writing and games he is designing.

Plus, I have been randomly reviewing figures from American history as we get set for a renewed focus on American History this year.

And, with the start menu up, I am well-armed for our family's next impromptu history trivia night! No more fussing with flashcards, doing random google searches, nor flipping through books when we want to geek out remembering our friend who was on a popular trivia show on tv by having our own living room trivia game. Instead, I can have the kids pick a category and, then, click through to figures to come up with an easy question. Whoo hoo!

Finally, of course, armed with the Timeline Collection, I am confident that THIS will be the year my children and I finally make headway on our timeline notebooks. Yep! It's going to be a success with great thanks to Homeschool In The Woods!There is just so much you can do with the Timeline Collection! No matter your homeschool style, curriculum choices, etc. the resource can fit.  I just love it and highly recommend it.

Nuts and Bolts of Use

The Timeline Collection:  A Collection of Historical Timeline Figures comes as a digital download (and can also be ordered on CD). 

The collection comes in two parts.

Part 1 contains PDF pages in both wall and notebook size - for all of the figures in four History through the Ages Timeline sets: Creation to Christ, Resurrection to Revolution, Napoleon to Now, and America's History, making it perfect for those who like to do history in Classical Education or Charlotte Mason-like studies. It also contains 80 Bonus figures. '

Part 2 contains the same 1260+ timeline figures offered as a gallery of high-quality GIFs organized into 30 helpful categories including chronological, alphabetical, and by a number of helpful classifications. This collection allows you to easily do topical studies and to find individual images to enlarge or reduce for coloring pages, notebooking pages, games, projects, and more. 

Also included are "Timeline Helps" which offers suggestions for a variety of games and resources, ideas for wall and notebook timelines, and tips for coloring and gluing figures.

When you first download the Timeline Collection:  A Collection of Historical Timeline Figures, you'll find it is a zipped file and, so, you have to extract the files.

Then you can simply hit the "start" button in the files to bring up an easy to navigate website-like page which links to all the different printable images.

Alternately, you can go into each folder (saved to your computer) and find what you want there.

Figures can be printed in multiple sizes with or without text. This offers so much flexibility:

• Young children can use images for coloring.
• Older children can write their own summaries to go with images.
• Those who like encapsulated summaries can print out images with text.
• You can print out figure and figure-text matching sets for games.
• Larger images and text can be used for wall timelines. 
• Smaller images and text can be used for notebooking.

You can print select figures or pdf pages out as is or follow instructions for copying, pasting, and resizing them into self-created documents.

This gives you total flexibility so you can print just what you need for a specific lesson, for a week, a month, a given semester, a whole year, whatever suits you. (I tend to do just what I need for a specific lesson or day so I don't add to paper piles in my home and have things get lost.)
