A timeline is an excellent tool to help children visualize history. Somehow it seems to help all those people and events come together into one continuous story. In addition, it provides an ideal way to review and cement what has been studied.

While younger children may prefer a large wall timeline, many older students tend to prefer timeline notebooks. And if you’re already using notebooking as a learning tool in your homeschool, a timeline notebook may be a great fit for your family.

We used these timeline notebook pages with Mystery of History (Vol. I), but they will work equally well with ANY history textbook or study method.

The newly updated download contains 107 printable timeline pages with dates from 5000 BC through AD 2039.

The Best Timeline Figures for a Timeline Notebook

The best timeline figures I’ve found are the ones from History Through the Ages. I love that the figures are realistic and not cartoonish. We color them with colored pencils, and the figures seem to almost pop off the page.

This completed page from my daughter’s timeline notebook gives a closer look. The quality and detail of the timeline figures is absolutely amazing!

  2. Thanks so much for this free printable timeline! It’s just what we needed for World History this year! I plan to 3 hole punch the pages I printed and put in a 3-ring binder. We will attach timeline figures and info as we study throughout the year.

    We’ve had a copy taped up on our walls for a few years now, and my kids wouldn’t think of homeschooling without it. On a cut-in-half 3×5 card, we write a name & date and draw a small picture, and then we tape it onto the timeline. Today I had to reprint 2 pages that got damaged, so I wanted to stop & thank you so much for sharing this nice printable! God bless!
