Hello! Remember, as you taught your kids about time, that it can be measured using seconds, minutes, etc.; and that there is a special device for this. Or perhaps you still have to tell your little ones about all this? Then I will suggest one very effective method. Together we need to make a clock with our own hands for children from cardboard. You can devote your working time to telling a story about short seconds, minutes rushing forward, and such huge watch, which seem to last forever, especially in babies. Yes and creative work will not remain without a trace, the little ones develop by doing it.

What to hide for modern man no matter how big or how small, the wrapper is important. Even the same candy may seem tastier if it is wrapped in a candy wrapper with your favorite movie character, rather than in parchment. Therefore, the learning process should be packaged in a beautiful wrapper: use your favorite Lego men, cars, stickers, prints of super heroes, everything that your child likes, that he is willing to look at for hours, and that he is even willing to sleep with.
Or even make it in the form of a wrist bracelet; I think kids will also appreciate this option.
Regarding the teaching system, choose the one that you think is more understandable to your child and which you can teach “without stuttering.” Some people make watches like real ones without minutes, others hide the minutes under a leaf so they can “peep.” Someone, on the contrary, makes a double dial, where both hours and minutes are clearly visible, and even the hands move in their own circle, clearly pointing to the number. And someone makes a clock with the task of sticking the corresponding number of minutes on Velcro, and even below you can put in separate numbers what happened (for example, 10:30). Of course, it is more convenient to make such watches with Velcro from felt, although Velcro can also be glued onto cardboard. The main idea!
Or you can improve your regular home clock by sticking minutes in a circle for quick learning.
In a word, what are we still talking about? It's time to get down to business! We have a universal, basic master class coming up that you can take as a basis for your idea.
Step-by-step instructions for making a clock from cardboard
Now we will try together do under the tree. But first, just a few words about the tools we will use to make, and the children’s possible help.
A few important points:
- We have to cut out blanks from paper, and for this we will need sharp scissors. If you have scissors with rounded edges, then this part of the work can be entrusted to the baby. Otherwise, it’s better, or rather safer, to do it yourself.
- To fasten the arrows on the structure, we again need a sharp object: either nail scissors with sharp edges, or a nail. Only 3 holes. But safety is more important. If the baby asks, of course, you can entrust the work, but only with your safety net.
- Decide how strong the structure you plan to make. Perhaps one sheet of cardboard will not be enough. Then use a base. A layer of thick packaging cardboard, or a few additional regular balls, will serve as the base.
- The last thing is how you will draw, or rather, with what. If you use a compass, then you already have the middle marked, and that’s good. But it's dangerous because sharp edge. You can draw it by tracing a plate, cup or bowl around the counter. In this case, we determine the middle using two perpendicular lines. Or, even simpler, bend one of the circles (preferably not the very first one, in order to maintain its attractive appearance) in half twice. The bend point is the middle.
Now we are completely ready! Forward!

Hello dear friends and readers! Today I want to show you how to make a watch with your own hands for a child.
All parents know how important it is to teach their children to correctly tell time using a clock. Especially if the baby is going to school.
Many children have difficulty counting minutes. Some people cannot understand what 13, 14, 15, etc. hours mean.
To easily explain how a clock works and how to correctly determine the time using it, you can make a model of a clock with your own hands at home. Moreover, it is not at all difficult.
How to make a watch with your own hands
For the craft we will need:
1. A sheet of colored or white cardboard
2. Sheet of colored paper
3. Low box or box lid
5. Ruler, pencil, compass
6. Markers
7. A piece of foam
8. Needle with a tip at the end
9. Scissors
Execution sequence step by step with photo
♦ Take the box and turn it upside down.
♦ Cut a square out of cardboard to the size of the box and glue it, this will be the case for the watch.
♦Cut out a circle from colored paper. We draw it using a compass; you can also circle a round object, such as a plate.
> First, we divide our circle into equal 12 parts, in each part we write numbers with a felt-tip pen from 1 to 12, like on a clock.
> Below, opposite each digit indicating the hour, we write the minutes in a different color.
> We draw lines from the edge between the numbers, 3 cm long, and cut along them with scissors.
♦ Then we draw and cut out arrows from cardboard:
>Make the hour hand 6 cm long and 1.5 cm wide.
>Minute hand - 8 cm long, 1 cm wide.
♦ Glue the circle with the dial to the center of our body, leaving the edges free.
♦ We bend each edge in order, starting from 1 and write 13 under it, under 2-14, under 3-15 and so on until 12.
♦ Attach the hands to the center of the clock using a needle with a tip.
♦ To prevent the sharp end of the needle from sticking out from below, you can attach a piece of foam plastic or cork to it.
