A home for their hearts Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I know Homeschool in the woods have them, I just can't afford them. Is there anywhere online that has them for free or cheap? I'm looking for ones that can go on the wall. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my2boysteacher Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 This site has a lot of free clip art, including a category for History: http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/sitemap/sitemap.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoVanGogh Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I often just look up the person/place/event on the internet, find an image I like then copy and paste it into Word and print it off. :D If we visit an art exhibit or museum, we may find a small image from a brochure or handout that we cut out and use.

Cindyz Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Check out this these figures. They have almost as many as homeschool in the woods for MUCH much less. Also, if you post a review of them on your blog or a forum, you can get one of their other products on disc for free. http://www.holdthatthought.com/timelines.php?prt_id=6077aa7a07f6bfdef03c55cae80240b6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 For timeline figures in color that go with the SOTW books, check out hanna's homeschool helps yahoo group. All free. They are beautiful, and she includes a template so you can download your own images from yahoo or google and fit them into the same format. I added a few saints, for example, to our med/ren year.

Farrar Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Google image search. Copy, paste, print. Yes, I'm sure it takes longer, but it astounds me that people pay so much for timeline images. 90%+ of the time I find exactly what I wanted within a single search on the first page. We print onto sticker paper, which is widely available at office stores and works great for things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helena Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Not sure if this would work for what your doing, but I find used college books on the free shelves at our library book store and cut out images from those (history/art book). I also use the review cards from SOTW, and HomeSchool in the Woods stickers. I'm going for the collage look. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanna1949 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 http://www.phillipmartin.info/clipart/homepage.htm These are not at all in the style of Homeschool in the Woods, but the cartoon figures of Phillip Martin are fun! And there are many available. We like them a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 If you use the SOTW AG, the review cards work well for this. My kids really enjoyed making their own. I would write the title and year of an event we had studied at the top of a 1.5"x3" sticker/label. Then they would draw a picture of the event, color it, then put it on the timeline (with help to get it in the right place!). They love those pictures the best--can't imagine ever getting rid of that timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atozmom Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Here are a few other sites I have stumbled across lately. The Homeschool Shop Homeschooling with Notebooking Classroom Clip Art Raising Our Kids - this is actually coloring pages. But I was able to take several and make them smaller to use as timeline figures. I agree with a PP too. Google images is very easy to use and you can usually find something there.

We will put an image on the sticker paper as we study it and when the page is full (or close) we have a "timeline" project day. It makes for a very nice review of the 1 or two weeks' worth of history study. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
