Top Tip
Children will have even more fun if the colour of the clock is based on their pet cat's colour and markings.
How to Make
- Using a pencil, draw around the lid of a glue stick or similar sized circular object onto a sheet of yellow foam. Repeat until you have drawn 12 small circles. Then number them 1-12 using a dark coloured marker pen.
- To help place the numbered circles evenly around the clock face, stick the No.12 at the top centre of the plate as shown inside the dimpled edge with a glue dot. Follow by sticking No.6 bottom centre, No.3 right-hand centre and No.9 left-hand centre. Then fill in the other numbers.
- To make the clock hands, draw an arrow roughly 1cm (W) by 6.5cm (L) onto a sheet of green foam. Then draw another arrow roughly 1cm (W) by 4.5cm (L) onto the same sheet of green foam.
- Cut out both arrows and attach the ends together by placing the arrows on top of each other and then putting a paper fastener pin through them both at the bottom. Don't open the paper fastener pin yet.
- Mark the centre of the paper plate circle using a pencil. Pierce the paper fastener attached to the arrows through the middle of the paper plate and open up the fastener at the back to secure in place.
- Using a dark coloured pen, draw a thick line roughly 3cm long pointing to each number around the dimpled edge of the plate.
- Between these thick lines, draw 4 short thin lines to mark the seconds around the clock. The clock will be the cat's body.
- Draw 2 rounded triangles for the cat's ears onto a sheet of orange foam. Cut these out and stick them to the back of the small orange paper plate using glue dots. Cut out a small round circle of pink foam for the nose, and stick in place with a glue dot.
- Using a smaller paper plate for the cat's head, stick on 2 jumbo wiggle eyes. Using a black marker pen, draw a mouth and whiskers, and 3 triangle stripes between the ears.
- Draw a wiggly cat's tail onto orange foam, cut out. Draw some triangle stripes and stick to the right-hand side of the cat clock body with glue dots.
- Attach the cat's head to the top of the clock body by sticking the cat's chin slightly underneath the larger paper plate using glue dots.
