Assemble the papers

Take the colourful papers of your choice to make the clock.

Cut The Sheet

Cut the circuar shape from a coloured paper and one of the same shape and small size from the other. Cut 10-12 small circular strips from another coloured paper.

Create the base

Cut a large circle from the corrugated sheet and another one of the same sizes from blue paper.

Stick The Paper on The Base

Stick the blue circle on top of the corrugated one using Fevicol MR. Then, cut a smaller circle from orange paper and stick it in the center.

Add the Hour Markers

Take the 12 candy sticks and glue them evenly around the edge of the clock with Fevicol MR, just like the numbers on a real clock.

Make the Clock Hands

From a sheet of black paper, draw and cut out one long hand and one shorthand for your clock.

Attach the Hands

Carefully push the toothpick through the very center of the clock. Then, slide your two paper hands onto the toothpick.

Draw Your Figures

On a white sheet, draw pairs of opposite figures like the sun and moon, happy and sad faces, or a shoe and a sock. Paint them using Fevicryl Acrylic Carnival Colours and let them dry completely.

Label the figures

Take the small circular strips, a marker or a thin brush and mark/label the figures.

Assemble Your Learning Clock

Using Fevicol MR, stick each figure to the end of a candy stick, placing it directly opposite its pair. Label the opposites carefully and paste the circular strips below using Fevicol MR.

Final Look

Your fun learning clock is now ready to use!
