A man who wastes time
He himself doesn’t notice how old he is.
E Schwartz
Even in ancient times, people knew how to navigate in time and space:
according to the stars, according to the sun, even then the first sundial was invented.
Man has invented all sorts of clocks throughout his existence: lunar, water, candle, sand, oil.
Such an ingenious invention could not fail to find universal application. Many of the first watches served humanity long and faithfully, but over time, more modern and convenient watch models appeared.
In today’s dynamic world, you have to appreciate every minute, as the saying “time is money” becomes more relevant every year. In order to control yourself, you simply need to have a good sense of time.
Teaching a child to navigate a clock correctly is a real art. This kind of activity requires a lot of time to be spent explaining the different names for the same designation. The main thing is patience and the ability to wait, and not immediately demand skills and abilities from the child.
The first and best tool is a home clock with hands, which we will make today.

They go all the time.
Not a person. (watch)
We don't sleep during the day
We don't sleep at night
And day and night
We knock, we knock. (watch)
I have no legs, but I walk
I have no mouth, but I will say,
When to sleep, when to get up,
When to start work. (watch)
Here's a hut with arrows,
And inside there sits a cuckoo

And shouts: “Kuk-ku, kuk-ku!
I guard the minutes!" (clock)
Watch.
When to go to bed and get up
When should we start a game?
When to sit down for a lesson
When there is a pie with raspberries -
The clock will tell us everything exactly,
So that the question: “What time is it?” -
You could answer every time.
A watch is a mystical gift.
It's not time that has power over you,
And you are above him - let him be bright
Yours every day and every hour!
The clock does not tolerate inattention,
And in happiness, be sensitive to the clock.
They are wealth and recognition
They bring it to us at the appointed hour.

How to teach a child to understand time? After all, you can’t see it, you can’t touch it, it’s always in motion. Teaching your child time by the clock is a necessary step in teaching your child.

Teaching a child time consists of several techniques:

1) You can start studying clocks with your child if he knows the numbers. If not, then you need to introduce the baby to them first. To do this, various educational materials, cards with numbers, etc. will come to the rescue.

3) For classes, use a simple clock with large numbers; you can buy them, or you can make them yourself. You can make a clock from paper or cardboard on which the child can turn the hands himself.

4) First, introduce your child to the hands: hour, minute, second.

5) Then show the numbers on the layout, explain that 5 minutes are counted between the numbers, and so on.

There is no need to start right away with a complex theory, tell your child everything in the form of a fairy tale, how the small hour hand looks like a turtle walks slowly and slowly, and the big minute hand looks like a bird and jumps quickly and quickly.

To help, we offer you a template for making a clock and learning time with your child. You can download the material at the bottom of the page.

What you will need to make a watch:

1. Clock templates;

3. Glue (glue stick or PVA glue);

4. Needle and thread;

5. 2 buttons.

Work process:

1) Print the template.

2) Cut out the clock and glue it onto cardboard, cut out the numbers and hands and glue it onto the dial.

3) Take a needle and thread and sew on the arrows. In order for the hands to rotate freely, we use buttons: we fasten one on the front side, the second on the back.

4) These are the training hours you get in the end.

Involve children in the manufacturing process, they really like any “sabbath”. And playing with toys that the child made himself is much more interesting.

I hope you and your baby enjoy this watch and learn time with pleasure and benefit.

A watch is an important item in our life. We are very dependent on time and its measurement. Not a day goes by without us looking at our watches at least once. When the child masters numbers, they begin to teach him how to tell time using a clock. But since real clocks move slowly, we suggest using Clock pictures for kids or photos to teach a lesson for kids.

Kinds

Before teaching children to tell time, you should tell them that there are different types watches, photos and pictures of which you will find on our website. For example, there are sand clocks, solar clocks, wrist clocks, wall clocks, children's clocks, and even antique cuckoo clocks. Different kinds hours work differently. Let's look at each of them.

Solar

The very first clock known to mankind was the sun clock. The first people were guided by the position of the sun, and therefore time depended on it. The sundial can be drawn on the sand or on the ground, but can be made from scrap materials. The sundial has an arrow pointing north. To draw or make a sundial, just attach the arrow to the dial and position it in the north direction. The shadow of the arrow will show the exact time.

Sand

This is an unusual watch. Hourglasses do not have a dial. They consist of two communicating vessels into which sand is poured. When an hourglass is turned over, sand pours out of one container into another over a certain amount of time. You can see in the photo what an hourglass looks like on our website.

Wrist

The most convenient and compact watches are wristwatches. They consist of a small dial and a strap with which the wristwatch is secured to the hand. Wristwatches are very convenient for a person: with their help you can always find out what time it is.

Vintage cuckoo clock

Today, you can only find an antique cuckoo clock in your grandparents’ house. Few people use them because antique cuckoo clocks are very bulky and take up a lot of space. In such a watch, every hour an artificial cuckoo peeked out from the dial and made sounds. That is why such a mechanism is today called an “antique cuckoo clock.”

Wall mounted

There are also wall clocks. They don't take up as much space as an antique grandfather cuckoo clock because they hang on the wall. Wall clocks can be of any shape, and the dial can be of any size. Surely there is a wall clock in every home.

You can see what this type of watch looks like in the photo on our website.

How to tell time?

To teach children to tell time, print pictures or photos of clocks from our website. Place the drawn clock on the table, explain it to the children, and then try together to determine the whole hour. Move to minutes when the previous material is fully understood. If you wish, you can print a photo of the watch, cut it out and stick it on a plastic circle. We attach plastic hands to it, and the clock is ready. This is a great teaching tool for kids!
