This time, we will be looking into Linnaeus Life Timeline.

We will have some awesome printable 3-part cards to help us with the process of learning about him and his life accomplishments.

I hope they help you as much as they helped us.

Montessori at Home Famous Artists for Kids

Linnaeus was an amazing Scientist and a wonderful artist.

He made sketches of the plants and animals he was studying. So, let’s get started with his fantastic timeline!

Karl, Get Out of the Garden!: Carolus Linnaeus and the Naming of Everything QTMY Biology Science World Collection of Real Insect Specimen Paperweight for Kids Education Toy (Allomyrina dichotoma（Linnaeus）)

This is how we set it up:

Activity #1

Print out the timeline and the 3-part cards in color on cardstock.
Cut them all out. For durability, laminate them.
Lay out the timeline from 1700-1800.
Place 3-part cards on the table and put them in order by date (start with 1707).
Begin placing 3-part cards on the top and bottom of the timeline (alternating), near the date matching the timeline and the 3-part card.
As the child does this, read the information and repeat the information on the cards.

Activity #2

Print out the 3-part cards twice in color on cardstock.
Cut them out. For durability, laminate them.
Follow the steps on how to use 3-part cards. Read HERE.
