How to learn to tell the time?
1. Start by telling your child what each arrow stands for.
2. At the first stage, you can start teaching only from the clockwise direction. Explain by the clock to the child what time he gets up (put the hour hand at 7 o'clock), what time the child has breakfast, lunch or dinner, what time he sleeps, what time he watches his favorite cartoon, etc.
Play a game to consolidate. Place the hands differently and ask "What time is it now?"
12.00 - twelve o'clock
10.00 - ten o'clock
3. After the child learns to determine the time with the help of a small hour hand, you can start learning the concept of a minute. Explain how many minutes the hand shows while on each digit of the dial. To do this, you printed out the dial mentioned above.
Play games to consolidate the minutes. For example, a child puts hands on a paper clock as well as shows the time on a wall clock. At the same time he calls the full "What time is it now". For instance:
08.40 - eight hours forty minutes
06.25 - six hours twenty five minutes
4. After the child learns and learns to determine the time using both the hour and minute hands, you can teach the child to use expressions such as:
09.15 - fifteen minutes past nine (this is 15 minutes after nine)
08.50 - ten minutes to nine (this is 10 minutes to nine)
10.30 - half past ten
We carry out tasks for consolidation. Clock

If you have children growing up in your house, be sure to take note of our master class "How to make a watch out of cardboard." Kids will like to deal with the attribute of their own manufacture more than with industrial watches. Easy and fruitful activities for you!
A kitchen clock is a necessary, useful and, in general, everyday thing. Few people think about their design, because the main thing is that they show the time correctly, helping to control the process of cooking various dishes.
But try doing wall Clock for the kitchen with your own hands - and you will notice that the atmosphere in this room has subtly changed.
Of course, it's not about assembling and adjusting the clockwork yourself - it should be used ready-made, bought in a store or taken from an old watch. But it is very possible to dream up the design of the dial.
Handmade kitchen clock
Many of us have some kind of hobby related to needlework. These skills can be applied to watch making, even if it seems impossible to you. In fact, the watch can be knitted, embroidered, woven, painted, etc.
Don't believe me? Take a look at the following photos.
As you can see, a little imagination and skill - and your kitchen will acquire a real handmade designer thing.
If you don't know how to sew, embroider, or draw, you can come up with something else, no less interesting (see also the article on). Perhaps you will like one of the ideas we have proposed in this article or video clip.
Watches from scrap materials
Look into cabinets and drawers in your kitchen, and you are sure to find a lot of unnecessary or worn-out things that can still serve in a different capacity. For example, an old saucepan lid, the only remaining plate or flour sieve from the service can be an excellent base for a watch.
And here are the options for using them:
- Unscrew the handle from the old cover and you have a watch case with a pre-drilled hole in the center. The lid can be spray painted, painted or decorated with stickers. On the back, a mechanism from a watch with a battery is attached to it, and on the front there are arrows.
- The simplest and most original kitchen clock can be made from disposable dishes: plates and plastic cutlery. This idea is not new, but still interesting. In the same way as in the previous case, you just need to glue the clockwork on the back and set the hands.
Council. Instead of a disposable plate, it is better to use a stiffer base - a lid from a mayonnaise bucket or cut from thick cardboard a circle.
- If you need a large enough art object, take a large tray of any shape, drill a hole in the middle and use good glue attach twelve coffee cups to it. Further instructions similar to the previous ones.
These ideas can not be copied literally, but only used as hints. For example, instead of a lid, a frying pan with a handle or an old vinyl record can be an excellent watch case.
Coffee clock
Coffee beans are a favorite material for making different crafts from masters of applied arts... They can also be used to decorate watches. In the kitchen, they are especially appropriate, as they will not only show the time, but also exude a magical aroma.
It is not necessary to make a watch with your own hands, you can use the existing ones, and only decorate them with coffee beans by sticking them directly on the dial or on the bezel of the case. Although you can come up with your own composition. Watch the master class to understand how to work with this material and what it can be combined with.
Council. Instead of coffee, you can use any other grains, as well as pasta. If you paint them with spray paint, you can create an interesting ornament or a whole picture.
Decoupage
Today this method of decorating has found a second life, because it allows you to create truly unique things. Its essence is extremely simple: it is an ordinary application, which is coated on top with a varnish that protects the pattern.
Sometimes craquelure varnishes are used, creating small cracks on the surface and giving the effect of antiquity.
For kitchen clocks, you can use paper napkins with a pattern that matches the style and color. They are glued to the prepared base with PVA glue diluted with water. After drying, you can paint on the contours, stick or write numbers, and then cover it all with acrylic varnish.
Wooden clock
If you enjoy working with wood, and your kitchen style calls for just such a decor, there are tremendous possibilities open up before you.
- A do-it-yourself wall kitchen clock can be made from a thin saw cut from a tree (see also article on). It only needs to be sanded, varnished or stained and a hole drilled to attach the arrows.
- Remember the old cuckoo clock that used to hang in almost every village house? Their likeness can be made from wooden planks, and decorated with figures from salt dough.
- Another one interesting ideathat your children or grandchildren will love. Cut a circle out of thick plywood, and drill 12 thin holes at its end at regular intervals. We will not remind about the clockwork and hands - everything is as usual here. But the role of time indicators should be played by lollipops inserted into pre-made holes. Just do not take off the wrapper ahead of time.
Council. Stock up on candies to replace those that will constantly and mysteriously disappear.

Even in ancient times, people knew how to navigate in time and space:
by the stars, by the sun, even then the first sundial was invented.
What kind of clock has not been invented by man throughout his existence: lunar, water, candle, sand, oil.
Such an ingenious invention could not fail to find universal application. Many of the first hours served humanity for a long time and faithfully, but over time, more modern and comfortable models hours.
In today's dynamic world, you have to appreciate every minute, as the saying “time is money” is becoming more and more relevant every year. In order to control yourself, you just need to be well-versed in time.

Simple DIY master classes
Model "Needlewoman"
To create this watch you will need decorative buttons and ordinary hoops used in embroidery. The dial will be fabric, the color and print of which is suitable for room design... In addition, prepare:
- tape;
- a piece of cardboard;
- internal mechanism from old walkers.
Now we are looking at how to make such a watch with our own hands.
The process is intuitively simple. Pull the fabric onto the hoop, cut off the excess and sew the buttons to the resulting base so that they imitate the location of the dials on the dial.
Sew buttons onto fabric
Now we need to prepare the substrate. We will cut it out of cardboard for our watches. The part should have the diameter of the hoop and should be inserted from the inside. Its strength is enough to hold the hands and the mechanism itself. For reliability, the insert can be glued to the fabric. It remains to attach a loop and hang the accessory on the wall.
Attach the clockwork
Using this technology, they often collect thematic clocks, for example, New Year's. To emphasize their link to the event, it is enough to add an adequate decor in the form of: serpentine, golden cones, improvised snowdrifts. It will be easy to change the topic if you want. The ability to change the design of the accessory will allow you to play with the perception of the environment of the entire surrounding space, which will really appeal to fans of frequent changes of scenery.

Paper clock
Wonderful colorful wall clock with your own hands can be assembled from magazine and newspaper sheets. Cooking:
- pencil;
- scissors;
- silk thread;
- transparent adhesive tape;
- a needle;
- cardboard;
- 24 journal sheets of the same format;
- a pair of transparent plastic discs.
The latter can be found in the packaging of CDs.
There are different DIY master classes for making paper clocks, but in our case we will twist paper blanks. To do this, wrap the magazine sheet on a pencil and get a tube. To keep the workpiece in shape, fix the free edge with adhesive tape.
Roll up paper blanks
When all 24 parts are ready, each of them will need to be bent, thus separating 1/3 of the length.
We will sew the tubes along this fold, collecting them into a ring.
Collect the straws in a ring
We carefully lay out the sewn paper watch blanks on the table and put a transparent disk on top. This must be done so that the central holes of the elements coincide.
Insert and assemble the clockwork
We insert and assemble the clockwork. On the back side, we will hide it under a second plastic disk and a similarly shaped cardboard base. Now we fasten the arrows - and you're done!

Example of a watch from a cardboard box
The first thing we will do is attach two ribbons to the bottom of the box. Then we will hang cones on them. The assembly of the watch from cardboard will continue to work on the dial. We cut it out using a stencil and attach it to the front side of the craft.
Now let's get to the roof. We assemble its structure from two thin boxes and two triangular pieces of cardboard.
Decorating ideas will be prompted by a photo of a hand-made watch, which can be found in unlimited quantities on the Internet.

A clock made of cardboard, a clock made of paper ... How about the idea of \u200b\u200ba clock from a bicycle wheel? Since the base is quite large, it will be necessary to find a clock mechanism of the appropriate size, capable of rotating large hands. When working on a wall clock with our own hands, we will take ordinary school rulers. Let's give them the required length. At the ends we attach triangles symbolizing an arrow. Moving elements must be clearly visible against the background of the disc, therefore, if the design of the product allows, the arrows can be painted in a suitable color.
Attach the tin cover
There is one trick in creating such a watch with your own hands. To balance the movement of the arrows, you will need to attach a counterweight to the larger one. Washers usually play its role. This makes it easier to find an adequate mass.
