[Ages 4 and up] A Spinning-Hands Clock Made with Paper Plates

[Kindergarten/Preschool] Clock Craft / Easy / How to Make a Clock with Hands That Spin

This is a clock you can make with a paper plate, and it’s fun to spin the hands around and around.

Let’s make the stand for the clock out of a milk carton.

Have an adult help with the cutter and any tricky parts.

Kids can enjoy cutting out the hand and foot shapes with scissors and tearing their favorite construction paper or origami paper to glue onto the paper plate.

If they can, it’s great to have them try writing the numbers on round stickers, too.

Using a capsule from a vending-machine toy and sparkly origami to create a glamorous bell, and pipe cleaners to make the clock hands, you’ll end up with a charming little “Mr.

Clock” as the finishing touch!

[Ages 3 and up] Hydrangea Pendulum Clock

[Kindergarten/Daycare] June Teru Teru Bozu Pendulum Clock Craft

How about making a pendulum clock with teru-teru bozu, which are especially useful during the rainy season? You can mainly use a milk carton and construction paper to make it.

It’s a good idea for an adult to prepare the milk carton’s shape and apply the construction paper in advance.

Kids can enjoy decorating with hydrangea flowers and leaves and making the teru-teru bozu.

Making it together can spark interest in clocks and numbers, and the gently swaying teru-teru bozu is adorable.

It might even help build a habit of checking the clock often!

[Age 5] Handmade Origami Wristwatch

[Preschool Craft] A Father’s Day Gift! Handmade Origami Wristwatches 🕐 | Handmade origami watches

Let’s make a wristwatch out of origami.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice, then open it up.

With the colored side facing up, place the paper so the crease lines form a cross.

Fold the top and bottom corners in to meet the center line, then flip the paper over and repeat the same folds two more times.

When you make the second fold, you’ll notice the corners sticking out to the sides.

That part will be the watch face, and the long, narrow folded parts will be the band.

Stick a round sticker in the center of the watch face, draw the hands and numbers, and connect both ends of the band with a rubber band to finish.

Try making it with different colors and patterns of origami paper!

[Ages 0 and up] A colorful clock made with tissue paper

[June Craft] Time Day ♪ Kerokerokeroppi Flower Clock ♡ Cute Craft ♡ Crafts for 0-, 1-, and 2-year-olds — with introduction —

Why not start with a story about Time Memorial Day and try making a cute flower clock? You will need a paper plate, tissue paper, double-sided tape, crayons, and so on.

Adults should handle tasks like sticking double-sided tape around the outer edge of the plate and making a hole in the center.

Children can enjoy crumpling and tearing the tissue paper to attach it, and drawing their favorite patterns on the leaves with crayons.

By making a clock, kids can also learn a sense of time—like “morning,” “lunchtime,” and “nap time.”

[Age 3] Hydrangea-themed watch

[Kindergarten/Preschool] Clock-making for the youngest class! A craft idea we actually did with the children at kindergarten: “Clock”

Perfect for the rainy season! Let’s make a clock with a hydrangea motif.

First, cut rectangular construction paper to create the hydrangea petals.

Attach the clock face paper to the clock base, then stick on the petals you cut earlier, making sure they don’t cover the numbers.

After you glue a large leaf cut from construction paper to the back of the clock, the steps for the children are finished.

Then an adult should attach the clock hands and a ribbon for hanging to complete it.

Prepare the clock face in advance.

If you have time, you might let the children handle cutting the clock base and the leaves, too.

[Ages 3 and up] Hydrangea Clock Made with Bubble Art

[2022] “A Kindergarten Teacher Demonstrates with Children” Let’s Make a Hydrangea-Shaped Clock with Bubble Art for Time Day

Let’s have fun with bubble art using paint and bubble solution.

You can use store-bought bubble solution, or make your own by mixing water, dish soap, and liquid laundry starch (or laundry glue) in a 5:4:1 ratio.

Mix the bubble solution with paint to create colors, blow through a straw to make bubbles, and place them onto drawing paper.

Once dry, the bubble patterns become a beautiful art piece.

If you imagine the paper as a hydrangea flower, you can finish it as a hydrangea clock by adding round stickers with numbers on top or attaching a paper piece shaped like clock hands.

It’s super cute—give it a try!
