Time Lines, Etc. produces time line figures, historical information, games and learning activities for U.S.History, Ancient Civilizations, Middle Ages, Inventions, Old Testament, New Testament, and Learning the Bill of Rights.
If you have children who enjoy coloring, this is the set I would recommend. The figures are line drawings on heavy card stock so they are easy to color with any medium (crayons, colored pencils, watercolors, etc). There are some duplicate pieces that are already colored, although not the complete set. (I would have liked to have seen this complete.)
For kinesthetic kids, there are a variety of ideas included to make learning fun such as: make the figures into puppets, arrange them in chronological order, use a figure as "show and tell," and much more.
You could use the timeline figures as your entire history course. A short historical summary about each piece is included to help you teach about each figure. You can then use library books and the internet to add to this information.
Although not as professionally done as the competition, I did enjoy the line art that makes them easier to color. They are a bit cheaper also. For more information: http://www.timelinesetc.com/
