Home School in the Woods is one of my favourite companies. They produce stellar unit studies, lap books, Time Traveller series and much more. You really need to check them out.
You will find that creating hands-on materials for studying history is THE thing that Home School in the Woods excels at. From producing the elements you need for making a timeline, to creating games and interesting projects that bring history alive to students.

Home School in the Woods has stated that
“All of our products are family-friendly, flexible to integrate into a school plan, geared towards multiple students, and reproducible within a family. They are also not necessarily meant to be done cover to cover – although they do stand alone – they can be used as a supplement as well.”
