´¯`•. The Past in Pictures

According to Charlotte Mason, the best way to help kids ‘get’ history (which people came first, what happened when) is to do a time-line.  AmbleSide On-Line recommends younger children do a time-line, and older children a ‘Book of Centuries’.  I decided early on that we would simply do the ‘Book of Centuries’ from the get-go, so that each child would have a ‘takeable’ copy of everything in it that we learned to browse and keep.

However, this requires pictures.  There are TONS of ‘coloring pages’ of Bible characters on-line, but they’re ‘twaddle’ quality.  I’m not into the cartoon thang.  Pictures with detail, that are pretty, that are realistic, that are interesting to look at time and again… that I can print in b/w and let the kids personalize with colored pencils.  That’s how we do our BoC… all black & white pictures, colored by the kids.

And of course no mother has compiled a list of picture resources, so we all have to re-invent the wheel every time anyone sets about putting together a BoC.   I don’t want to buy the figure packs from Homeschool in the Forest (or whatever)… not when there are pictures – FREE! – on-line and available.  I thought “dang, I could save people a LOT of research if I just put my BoC pictures all in one place for them to ‘take’, if they’d like.

Honestly,  I wish I’d started this when I did my BoC, initially.  Going back and finding the pictures is really turning out to be a HUGE job.  Bear with me… I *am* working on it…
