History Timelines, Resources, and Studies

History Timelines, Resources, and StudiesDesigned to Develop a Love of Learning!

Nothing engages a child in the learning experience like hands-on activities! History should never be a boring subject–there’s far too much of it to enjoy! Travel the world, step back to days of old, become the heroes and heroines of the eras! By being grounded in the “when” and “where” that timelines and maps provide, and living the history through hands-on activities, 3-dimensional projects, drama, cooking, living books, and more, your child will be transported to a whole new world and experience the events and meet the amazing people who carved the paths we walk today!

The materials we develop at Home School in the Woodsare designed to do just that!

HISTORY THROUGH THE AGES

Timelines are a wonderful way to see all of history at a glance! They help visualize the procession of time and how one event spurs on another. They also 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. 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!

“I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the quality of your products. I am so pleased with every single thing I’ve ordered from you. I have both the Time Travelers CD’s and now the Timeline, timeline figures and placement guide. I have found that my fellow homeschoolers have so much more of an understanding of what we need than some of these big name companies. Thanks for offering these to us. I am so grateful that I found your products and I will most definitely be ordering from you again.” Rachel L.

“My son absolutely hated history before we started this. I was bound and determined this year to take a more textbook approach. After a few months of that I realized that I didn’t even remember one single thing that we had been learning over the past 3 months. So, then I started questioning my children about what we had learned in history so far and they didn’t remember anything either. So, it was back to the drawing board to find something else. Our local homeschool store recommended your program and I have to say that all 3 (13, 12, & 8) of my kids love it. My oldest son (13) said that for the first time he actually feels like he is learning something about history!” Terry W.
