[Age 5] Frog and Tadpole Clock

Production: Frog Clock <Yoshimoto Comedian span! Makoto>

Let’s make a frog clock with cute tadpoles as the hour and minute hands.

First, cut construction paper to create the frog’s base.

Attach the eyes and limbs, and draw the face.

Stick a round piece of paper with the clock numbers onto the frog’s belly, then make a hole in the center.

Be sure to ask an adult to help when making the hole.

Attach the tadpole-shaped hands made from origami to the clock with a T-pin, and it’s complete.

You could also have the children trace the outlined numbers on the clock themselves.

[Age 5] Owl Clock Made from an Envelope

【Craft】Owl Clock【Childcare/Early Childhood Education】

Let’s make an owl clock using an A4-size kraft envelope.

Cut off the flap of the envelope, then cut the envelope into the shape of an owl so that the bottom becomes the head.

Make slits where you removed the flap and curl them, then glue on the owl’s eyes, beak, and the clock face to the envelope.

Make all of these from construction paper.

You can either write the numbers directly on the clock face or use stickers with numbers.

Make the hands from construction paper, punch a hole in the center of the clock face, and fasten them with a split pin (paper fastener).

An adult should handle the hole-punching step.

Glue torn construction paper to represent feathers, stuff crumpled newspaper inside the envelope to give it a three-dimensional shape, and you’re done.

It’s also a great craft for autumn.

[Ages 4 and up] Wristwatch made with paper cups

Easy Paper Cup 'Wristwatch' – Craft, Cute ❤︎ DIY/Tutorial/Paper Cup Craft Idea/Wrist Watch ❤︎ #724

Shall we make a real, wearable wristwatch out of a paper cup? It’s a versatile idea that can even turn into a flower shape! Since the bottom of the paper cup will be the clock face, cut the side to create the strap.

Before cutting, have an adult draw guide lines and let the child do the cutting.

Cut off everything except the strap, but if you want to make a flower shape, leave a bit of that part and cut it into petal shapes.

Draw patterns on the strap and write the numbers on the bottom surface, then make a hole in the center, insert clock hands made from a pipe cleaner, and secure them.

Finally, adjust the strap to fit the child’s wrist and staple it—done! Be sure to cover the staple with tape to protect it.

[Age 5] Pendulum Clock Made from a Tissue Box

A pendulum clock you can easily make with a tissue box ♪

Have the children ever seen a ticking pendulum clock? This time, let’s make a pendulum clock using a tissue box.

The tissue box will serve as the clock body, so first decorate it by attaching origami paper or similar.

Then, when the box is oriented vertically, cut a 0.5 cm × 4 cm slit on the side that will be at the top.

Take a strip of thick paper (cut into a narrow rectangle), sandwich one end between two buttons and glue it, punch a hole in the other end, thread it through the slit in the box, and secure it with a bamboo skewer.

Finally, attach a bird or other motif to the part of the thick paper that sticks out on top, and paste a clock face onto the box to finish.

Be sure to give it a swing and have fun!

Snail clock for learning numbers [Ages 5 and up]

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

Here’s an idea for a snail-shaped clock you can make with construction paper.

Children can write the numbers on the clock face themselves, which creates an opportunity to learn numbers.

Have them refer to a real clock as they fill them in.

Once the clock face is done, decorate it with any patterns they like and attach it to the clock base.

Then add the hour and minute hands, and stick the clock onto the paper snail—done! The clock becomes the snail’s shell, which looks very cute.

Have fun making it while learning numbers.
