Timeline Of Communication (Large Display) in a child's hands
The Timeline of Communication, from the earliest marks people made to the way messages travel now. It belongs with the great lesson of language, and it does something a lesson cannot: it shows how recent writing is. A child who has walked the timeline of life and then finds writing crammed into the last fraction of this one has understood the scale without being told it. Large display, durable plastic. The other timelines are separate items.
