Mrs Mungo Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 In a sketchbook. The Record of Time book. Several ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 You can buy timeline books, but it's easy to make one. Just get a large sketch pad and draw a black line through the middle of the page (or the top, or the bottom!) and insert the years. From what I've seen, your time spans are larger in the beginning of time and grow smaller as the centuries get closer to the current time, if that makes sense. You can also google "timeline books" for other ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyinND Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I got a timeline for History Odyssey & it's 3-hole punched for putting in a binder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS Mom in NC Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Learning Through History has a hard back timeline book or you could make your own. Most time lines fold up, so you could get a regular one and unfold it out on the floor while you use it and fold it up and put it on a shelf where you're not using it.

happypamama Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I used the suggestions for a Book of Centuries from simplycharlottemason.com. I don't have a space for a timeline either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satori Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Do you have wall space on a staircase? That's where we put ours. Otherwise, the binder type timeline is very cool. You can always take it out and spread it out as needed, but keep it stored in the binder. I like the Add-A-Century one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 We bought one and it has been in the toilet for years :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 We bought one and it has been in the toilet for years :) You mean the bathroom? We use that place to put up a world shower curtain map. It's a great location for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I put my KONOS timeline in the hallway, which we passed multiple times a day on our way to bedrooms or bathrooms. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I went long, instead of wide - sort of like a growth chart, you know? It was adhered to the back of our bedroom door. We just kept taping new pages to the bottom of the last, then folding them fan-style. When we weren't using the timeline, a simple large paper clip (and later, a butterfly clip) would keep the pages in line -- clipped up to the original, top page which we had glued to a thin piece of cardboard for extra sturdiness. When we wanted to view the timeline, we let 'er down like taking long hair out of a bun. It eventually reached down beyond the bottom of the door :) The book thing never resonated with me. I tried it, but the visual didn't help me any - I needed to see an actual spread out timeline. This is the best I could do, and it worked just fine given our limited wall space.
