Snowman Clock

When it comes to buying toys for  kids, I believe its important to remember that they are still in their early  learning stage. This clock can serve as a learning tool to teach kids time or hanged in their room as a toy.

This clock may look real but its a toy, all the materials are paper except the black cloth on top.
1.Roll a lot of newspaper or magazine to any size you want(the one below measures 8 "). This will be the frame.

2.Place the frame(rolled newspaper) on a sheet of paper and draw the outline for the clock face .Cut through the outline. Write numbers(1-12) on the clock face.

3.Draw a snowman and cut it out.

4.Draw the hour hand and a minute hand on a paper cut it out. Colour it to make it visible.Make some paper beads to decorate the clock .

5.Note to make the hour hand and minute hand moveable use a headpin to secure it.

Paper bead bracelet with black glass beads

1. Cut a long elastic string, put glass beads on the string(about 12 or more depending on the length of the paper bead).
2.hold both ends of the string, put one end in the tube shaped paper bead and the other end also in the tube to appear on the other end of the tube bead. To get a clearer picture think of how you lace a shoe,the only difference is you are crisscrossing with a string in the paper beads tube.

3.Put 2 glass beads on side of the string and put both ends of the string in the paper bead tube using the crisscross technique. The video explains it all.Thanks
