And they count confidently. Now we are learning to determine the time and even lay it out from numbers on a special board.

You can teach a child to determine the time already in preschool age; the sooner he learns to do this, the easier it will become for parents. In addition, work skills tests are used as entrance tests in many high-profile educational institutions.

A clock made of cardboard is simply irreplaceable - lessons with them become much more understandable and visual. At the same time, it is absolutely not necessary to buy factory teaching aids and dummies of watches, since every parent can easily make a watch with their own hands for a child.

What is needed for this:

• Thick cardboard.
• Compass.
• Markers.
• Scissors.
• An empty ballpoint pen refill.
• Matches.

With a compass, draw two circles with one center - one larger, the other somewhat smaller. On the inner circle, set aside sixty divisions at regular intervals and arrange the numbers according to the dial of a real watch. We write Arabic numbers, with Roman children learn to work in about the second grade of primary school.

We cut out our watch. We make hands for them - as usual, a wide and short hour and a narrower and longer one - a minute. We attach them to the dial with a piece of an empty rod, the edges of which are then melted in the fire of a burning match and flattened with a matchbox.

Ready! You can safely take such a do-it-yourself watch made of cardboard to school when the time comes to polish the ability to determine the time.

Well, if we want to teach the child even before school, then we will prepare an empty dial for classes. electronic clock(four empty square windows) and numbers to it. Also useful are images of watches, the hands of which show a specific time.

We explain to the kid the basics: which hand shows the hours, which one is the minutes, how many divisions there are. And then we learn to determine by the location of the hands, how many hours it is now and how many minutes. If with the clock everything usually goes very easily, then with the minutes many children get confused. Therefore, you can draw on the dial next to the designation of each hour the designation of the number of minutes (10, 15, 20, etc.).

We try to show the same time on our watches as in the pictures - put the hands in the right position, determine how many hours and minutes we got.

When the basics are mastered, we move on to the next stage: we lay out the number of hours and minutes on the electronic dial, and the child shows them on his watch. This exercise is often used when entering high-profile schools.

And, of course, the final stage will be the development of the acquired knowledge on a real watch. Ask as often as possible what time it is, pay the child's attention to the clock when you are going somewhere or plan to go somewhere after a while. So the baby will early learn not only to determine the time, but also to feel and plan.

New Year's clock made of salt dough

If you like to do needlework with your children, then you will definitely like making New Year's clock from salt dough. In this process, there is nothing difficult, as all you have to do is to give the material correct shape... But still remember that in order for your craft to turn out right, you need to be as responsible as possible when preparing the dough.

You need to achieve such a consistency so that it does not crumble or stick to your hands. Some needlewomen advise beginners to add a little vegetable oil to the dough, citing the fact that it will be easy to roll out. But as practice shows, such a dough ultimately dries very badly and cracks quickly after drying.

In view of this, it will be better if you prepare the dough according to the following recipe:

• Flour - 500 g
• Salt - 250 g
• Water - 250 ml

Yes, and remember that the cooked dough should not be left to lie for a very long time, as this will necessarily affect the strength of the finished product. Therefore, it will be better if, after kneading, you immediately start creating a festive masterpiece. There are two ways to make the New Year's clock. You can simply roll out the dough and then cut out the clock of the shape you want.

You can also try to lay out the craft from small parts and only then dry it in the oven. Remember that it is necessary to dry the dough, because this is the only way you can get a strong structure that will not be afraid of moisture. If you try to quickly bake your workpieces, then inside they may not dry out and this will lead to cracks after drying.

New Year's cuckoo clocks are made according to the same principle as those crafts with which we have already introduced you. In view of this, first you will need to prepare thick cardboard, glue or tape, festive decor and paints for painting, and you can safely start creating a New Year's decoration.

So:

• First, cut out the blanks from which you will later make a house. When cutting, make sure that all parts are of the correct size. If at least one of the blanks is less or more than necessary, then in the end you will not be able to assemble the structure.

• Having cut out all the necessary blanks, begin to connect them together, first with glue, and then also with tape. This will help ensure that the finished structure is as strong as possible.

• Having made a box, start tinkering with a blank that imitates a cuckoo house. In this case, it is important to correctly calculate the size of the hole in which the bird will be visible. In order for it to look harmoniously in it, it must be at least 1-2 cm higher and wider than it.

• At the final stage, make a cuckoo (it can be made of paper or plasticine) and fix it in the opening. Connect all parts of the clock together and color them the way you like.

If you want to do something with your children from the materials available, then cardboard is best for this. It is durable, cheap, and can be cut well with scissors. You can always stick multi-colored sheets of paper on it and decorate the craft. And let it not seem to you that cardboard and paper look too simple and cheap, and the child will be unhappy. The child's imagination allows one to be content with little, if it is something bright, colorful and easy to understand. Try to watch some simple cartoon that the kids love and find it boring. Then you will understand that what seems primitive to an adult is a real magical world for children.

Details of making children's watches

On the video channel Hendiki filmed a video lesson on how to make a new watch out of cardboard, equipped with arrows. We'll need scissors, glue, cardboard and some kind of felt-tip pen. Let's take some cardboard orange... Accordingly, you get such a clock.

Let's find an object with which you can circle the circle. On yellow paper, you need a smaller circle. Now we will cut them out. Place the smaller circle on top of the larger one and glue it together.

Let's make the arrows gold. Minute and hourly. Let's make holes in the center of the dial and the hands. Now let's draw numbers on the dial. For this we use a felt-tip pen. It remains only to fix the arrows to the dial. Thanks to the cord, they can rotate like the real ones.

Comfort and coziness in our home sometimes depends on even the smallest details and elements. Even most interior designers agree that the most important attributes to obtain comfort in the house, there are well-chosen curtains, original lamps, soft and, matched in the right shade, blankets, pillows, bathroom rugs and clocks.

In this article, we will just talk about a master class on how to decorate a clock at home yourself.

On the Internet there is a large number of photo watches, most of them are made by famous designers, but making an original watch at home is also not difficult.

There is, of course, one key and difficult moment - the installation of the mechanism on the watch for its functioning, but the finished mechanism should be bought in the store and installed according to the instructions. But appearance future watches and the rest of the design depends entirely on personal preferences and tastes.

Allocate several modern technicians, which help you to independently make watches in any style.

Decoupage watch style

A similar technique for decorating and creating wall clocks involves working with a ready-made store template, where there is already a blank, the base of the arrows and the finished mechanism. You can also purchase ready-made patterns on paper, special paints, glue and other decoupage elements.

A blank for a watch is made in this way: several times the base is covered with soil from acrylic paints, and grind at the end. The desired shade and texture is given to the base in the next step.

There is one trick - if you want to make a watch in the old style with a shade that is frayed, then the paint must be applied with a sponge.

Decorating a wall clock with your own hands is a process of revealing fantasy and creativity from a person. On the base you can stick special water stickers... Or you can draw a preliminary sketch yourself and transfer it to the dial.

After that, the finished mechanism and hands with numbers are already attached. After a series of actions, the clock, created with your own hands, will come to life, and will give the house a special original look.

Quilling style watches

Quilling is an arts and crafts process in which straight stripes of colorful paper different widths. Such strips, as a rule, are twisted and glued to the surface, while creating the most varied patterns and pictures.

To create a watch using this technique, it is best to take a tree as a basis for a watch, since quilling elements can be well glued to it.

The color scheme should be in harmony with the interior of the room. After all, a bright clock will look ugly in a room made in the style of minimalism. Therefore, the choice of shade is a key moment in this matter.

Most often, multi-colored quilling elements are used to create flowers, insects, trees, animals, berries, and so on.

Plaster clock

Ordinary plaster tiles will serve well as a base for future watches.

Romantic and quivering natures will surely find a large number of solutions for creating watches from this material.

Among professionals, such a tile is called a medallion. The mechanism of the future watch is attached to its back. To make the product look more refined and restrained, its surface should be covered with matte paint in light colors.

And if you want some glare, then glossy paint will do.

Note!

This material is most suitable for creating a clock in a bedroom. At the same time, shades are chosen - beige, pale pink, pearl, the color of coffee with milk, purple and so on.

Clock with wooden sticks

In this situation, in your arsenal should be such items as sticks and quality wood, good glue, scissors, and ready-made working hours with a flat surface.

Many small sticks of the same size should be cut out of wood, and then connected

If the sticks are applied to the base in two layers, then you can achieve an excellent "explosion" effect, which looks luxurious and original.

Now you know how to make a watch at home. Clock self made ideal for the kitchen, and for the hall, and for the bedroom.
