Home School in the Woods Review

Home School in the Woods always has amazing products for homeschoolers. I always enjoy using something new in our homeschool. I think now that we have been able to use the Timeline Collection: A Collection of Historical Timeline Figures that means that we have used nearly every product in their large collection!

These timeline figures have beautiful detail in each image. You are able to choose how you would like to use the figures--either with some written info or without. I like the written info as it just gives a little hook for the student to remember what they learned about that object as look back through their timeline. You are also able to print these in different sizes if you so desire.

The timeline figures are accessed through what looks like a web page, but you do not need to be online in order to access them since they are all downloaded to your computer.Once downloaded, click on the disc 1 or disc 2 folder on your computer. Once you are in the disc that you want to access, click on the start button. This will pull up the content for you with clickable links. Personally, the easiest disc to work with is disc 1. You just pull up a time period and print the pages. Simple. The second disc takes a little more work to use, but the flexibility of that disc allows to print exactly what figures you want. So take the time to play around with the features on both discs. I will be teaching my son how to print the figures that he needs for the rest of his history studies. It's good for him to know how, plus it frees me up to do other things.

What I love about these figures is that they are simple, yet beautiful. They are easy to use and appeal to any age. I also like that you can choose to print the figures in whatever way you will best use them--a variety of sizes means that you can hang them on the wall or use them in a timeline book.

Do you need ideas for how to use timeline? Check out this Teaching with Timelines blog post writen by Home School in the Woods. Actually all of their blog posts are informative and super helpful.

I really do love all of the products that are offered by Home School in the Woods. Many of their items are project based and easy for kids to use. Parents can spend a few moments preparing and printing for the daily lesson and then teach the lesson to the kids. I do hope you will take a moment to read what other reviewers have to say about some of the projects that they reviewed.
