Anyone have an inexpensive source of timeline figures? I’d like to get the homeschool in the woods set, but it’s too expensive at the moment. I’ve tried looking up historical figures as clipart, but it’s taking forever, and I’m coming up dry with several people. My oldest isn’t at the point where drawing them would work well, as his drawings would be too big to fit the timeline we have.
Have you put out ISO’s anywhere? I would try the WTM forums, Homeschool Classifieds and here! Oh, and the CM and Classic CM swaps. I purchased the entire Homeschool in the Woods disc set from another mama on the CM swap for an almost ridiculously reasonable price. Good luck!
I do a variety of things: free images online resized to what I want, draw something (even if it is representative – such as a crown for a king), postage stamps (I happened to have one with the Eiffel Tower on it, which is what we were studying), etc.
Hopefully these ideas will help a little if you can’t find the figures you want right now.
Which figures are you looking for? I have some I can sell to you for a good price. I have Homeschool in the Woods American History, Explorers to 21st Cen.
