The 150cm-wide display features color-coded bands representing major civilizations, with a chronological ruler and beautifully illustrated artifacts that help children grasp the flow of human history.

How to present it
Mount the timeline at child's eye level on a wall where children can approach closely. Ensure good lighting highlights the color bands and illustrations. Place a pointer or ruler nearby for tracing along the timeline.

- 2Introduce one civilization band at a time, naming it and tracing its length
- 3Point out where civilizations overlap on the timeline
- 4Examine the illustrated artifacts for one civilization together
- 5Practice 'time travel' by moving along the ruler from past to present
3 tips for parents
- When visiting museums, help your child identify which timeline band the artifacts belong to
- Create a family timeline at home using the same left-to-right format to reinforce temporal understanding
- Use the civilization colors when reading history books - 'This story is from the blue band time'
