WHAT THEY ARE

 

Keeping a timeline is a way to provide a visual reminder of people, places and events you have studied. A timeline can be a blank sketchbook which you fill with dates and notes about history, it can be a ribbon along a wall with figures or pictures affixed to in chronological order, or it could even be a simple clothesline lined with notes written on index cards and placed in chronological order using clothespins. There are many simple ways to make a timeline work for your family.

The beauty of a timeline is that it creates a framework to make sense of all the books you are reading within the grand scope of history. For instance, although you might read a book about Harriet Tubman one week, and a book about the French Revolution the next, noting the events or people on a timeline can help you make connections about how these people and events fit together.

 

WHAT IS INCLUDED

 

The Playful Pioneer Volumes 1 and 2 Timeline Cards are a tool to get your timeline started. Included are over 56 timeline prompts (including a page of blank cards for adding your own) relating to events and people that we study in both volumes of The Playful Pioneers. These prompts are a helpful way to begin a timeline that can last throughout your child’s homeschool years.

To use your timeline, simply print on card stock and cut each card along the lines. Each week you can take a few minutes to draw pictures on the timeline cards that correspond to that week’s lesson, and then place them on your timeline. As you continue learning about history, you can make your own cards based on books you read, and even add cards that relate to your own family, such as your child’s birthdate, or your wedding day. This timeline can become a treasured part of your homeschool and a valuable tool for encouraging connections with the many people, places and events you will study.

What Makes It Different

What Makes It Different
  • Developmentally gentle and whole-child focused

    Early years resources prioritize strong motor, auditory, and visual skills, the building blocks for long-term academic success, while elementary resources nurture wisdom and virtue through beautiful stories and conversations.

  • Literature-rich learning

    Each week is thoughtfully curated around great books that spark curiosity and cultivate a lifelong love of reading and learning.

  • Hands-on, screen-free activities

    Practical skills, nature study, and crafts strengthen fine and gross motor skills while engaging the senses and imagination, and science experiments and mapwork nurtures awareness of the world around us. No screens required.

  • Simple, open-and-go structure

    Parent guides are laid out clearly and concisely, making it easy for brand-new homeschool families and seasoned parents to begin with confidence.

  • Designed for connection

    The guides invite you to slow down, learn alongside your child, and enjoy the homeschool years.

A wonderful fit for our family

I have been following and researching The Peaceful Press for the last two years, and I’m so glad we finally purchased the curriculum to begin! My boys are 5 & 7, and Playful Pioneers has been a perfect fit for them. We also have an almost 2 year old little girl, and are expecting twins in the next month, so I knew I needed a curriculum that was sustainable during this upcoming transition. I’ve been so happy using it and look forward to snuggles with even more babies during read aloud in the future. I highly recommend it!

Playful Pioneer Volume 1

I am really enjoying this curriculum! We are reading through the Little House series and my kids are enjoying that. It’s an easy to follow curriculum and I really like the variety. The only thing my kids find challenging is painting the art pictures so we just look at the pictures. It would also be great if more information was included about the piece of art. Other than those 2 things, I definitely would recommend this curriculum.

Excellent resource!

The timeline cards are an excellent resource that helps my children visualize and better understand when each of the historical figures lived. It brings a new and deeper understanding to their lessons.

Update to my last review

I finally connected the dots of how to use the timeline cards along with the curriculum. Now to backtrack and put them on our wall.

Great curriculum, but did not realize it was fully digital

I love the Charlotte Mason, literature-based approach of this curriculum. However, I wished that it offered a print book version, not just digital. I did not realize how many pages I needed to print.

New size is a great addition!

I already owned the previous Playful Pioneers timeline cards, but opted for the new pack because of the added smaller sizing for the cards. A “book of centuries” or timeline book has become the best way to keep our homeschool timeline organized and the smaller sizing is perfect for cutting and pasting into our book to look at for years to come.

Somehow when my family started the playful pioneers I missed this additional purchase! I found out about it on the Facebook group. This helps my girls connect what we're learning to a concrete time, and seeing how our country progresses through time! I'm so glad I went back and purchased these cards!!
