NEW - The Pages of Time
Timeline Notebook Pages and Literature List

Give your child the "big picture" of history -
use a timeline!

Timelines are a wonderful way to see all of history at a glance! They help you see history by the slice - what was happening at various places in the world at the same time. Timelines help the most visual of learners grasp the abstract idea of "time" in a hands-on way. Your kinesthetic learner will benefit from the cutting and coloring of the figures. They are wonderful for the auditory learner as each figure has a descriptive text to remember key points of each person or event. Best of all, they inspire a love of learning about the people and events that made a mark in the world, reinforcing that knowledge by taking part in putting the "puzzle" of history together!

The Pages of Time is a set of dated notebook pages for creating your own book of history! Dates range from 5000BC to 2020AD. All you need to build your timeline is a 1 - 1.5" binder and page protectors. If you purchase the printed version, each page protector will hold one printed page. When you are ready to add your own drawing or pre-made figures like those below, just remove the page and apply figures with a glue stick. One of the benefits of using Timeline Notebook pages is the ability to add more pages, maps, drawings, reports and more. Each child should have their own timeline notebook and each "book of history" they create can be uniquely their own! In addition to the dated timeline pages, The Pages of Time also provides a chronological, suggested reading, literature list. While not exhaustive, I hope it will encourage you to enhance your history studies with literature! For a thorough, chronological list of literature for studying history, I highly recommend All Through the Ages by Christine Miller!

HISTORY Through the Ages Timeline Figures I can't recommend these beautiful figures highly enough! Whether you choose to use them in a timeline notebook like "The Pages of Time" or as a wall timeline (each set provides dated wall strips to place the figures), your children will have a beautiful, accurate glance at history! We use a timeline notebook for each child. Right now we're studying American History and using the figures in the American History set. We also run across other people and events in different eras as we study science, art and music history. So I use all 3 timeline packs on a regular basis. It's so neat to add Rembrandt and see that he lived at the same time as the pilgrims were landing at Plymouth Rock! The text boxes under each figure are really the highlight of these sets. Before using History Through The Ages Timeline Figures, when my children looked back through their timeline notebook, they would often have a hard time remembering the main details about the person/event listed. It's hard to remember details about every person or event we've encountered over the years! That's not a problem anymore -- the detailed drawings and brief narrative are enough to jog their memory and make looking through their notebook like reading a brief overview of history.

Record of Time With all the time and energy your child puts into their timeline notebook, you will want one that not only beautifully displays their efforts, but will stand up to the years of use, providing a keepsake to last their school-life and beyond. With this in mind, the creator of the History Through The Ages Timeline Sets has created this beautiful notebook - it truly is a work of art. Some moms will prefer our other notebook-style timeline listed below - unlike this book, the notebook timeline fits in a three-ring binder making it possible to add pages and page protectors. However, many will find the sturdiness and absolute stunning art work in this timeline book is worth the extra investment! The Record of Time includes: A 12" x 9" HARD-COVER binding to take the shelf wear and years of use, wrapped around a spiral binding allowing the timeline to lay flat! o One-hundred and twenty-two durable, ivory colored, cardstock pages, 11" x 8.5" (horizontal), dated from 5000 BC to 2025 AD.
