How to make your Countdown Clock
Watch our handy countdown clock video and you will see how quick and easy it is to make this clock!! Or follow the step by step instructions below! Remember you have two choice – make a “round clock” or leave the main clock in your A4 sheet of paper and decorate around it. I think both are lovely in different ways.
- Begin by colouring your different clock parts – the little rectangle, can be left blank as it forms part of the mechanism to secure the clock at the back. Remember you can decorate your whole cover sheet or just the clock itself. Your choice.
OPTIONS: you can use the Countdown Clock Face to add activity ideas and as you approach a new hour or unit, you move onto the next activity – e.g. make a family time capsule or have fun with a DIY New Year’s Eve Photo Booth (more on this to come!!)
- Cut our your sheet two – so the “Happy New Year” dial and the rectangle. If you wish cut out the main face too (but not necessary).
- Cut along the red line in both your Countdown Clock Face and the New Year’s dial.
- Slote the New Year’s Dial INTO the Countdown Clock Face.
- Then align the rectangle with the “end of your dial” and tape in place. This will prevent your dial from slipping out.
Finished. Yep.. it really is that easy.
