Educational Timelines – Custom Learning Timelines & History Charts for Classrooms | DS Creative

Educational timelines are powerful visual tools that help students grasp historical sequences, scientific processes, and curriculum milestones with clarity and context. Our custom printed timelines are ideal for classrooms, lecture halls, corridors, and learning centres, offering high‑impact visuals that support memory retention and student engagement.

Whether you’re illustrating historical eras, scientific discoveries, or project workflows, our timelines can be personalised with your content, colours, and branding to match your curriculum needs. Printed in large format for maximum visibility, these teaching aids make complex sequences easy to understand and visually compelling.

  • The Bronze Age
  • Ancient Egypt

How To Order

  • First, choose a location in your school where you would like your timeline displayed.
  • A long empty wall with space at students eye level is ideal
  • Get in contact with us and if you are within a 25 mile radius we will be able to send someone out to assess the space and take any necessary measurements.
  • If you are further afield then just take a photograph of the space and note its measurements yourself, then send these over to us along with any additional notes (info@dscreative.co.uk).
  • Once we have received your message we will review your documents and create a proof image to send back to you so you can see how the display will look once it is in place.
  • When you are happy to proceed we will make any changes you require to the timeline like adding specific dates or changing certain colours to make it more in keeping with your schools theme.
  • We will then send you a final proof for review and get started printing!
  • Printing times can vary depending on the size of your timeline but usually we will have you project finished and ready to install within 5 – 7 working days.
  • Once you are in posession of your Timeline, it’s just a case of affixing it to the wall. The best way to do this is with a strong adhesive such as ‘No more nails’. We can supply this if required.
