Creative idea
A Wall Clock made from a decorated Canvas with a Clock Mechanism
#v14196
Children's logical-mathematical and personal intelligence is enhanced by this creative project when combining making a self-portrait with a wall clock. Children gain greater self-esteem (self-wise) when depicting themselves. Furthermore, their logical-mathematical intelligence is enhanced when working with numbers.

Attach the clock mechanism through the hole: pass the screw thread of the clock through from the back of the canvas. Now attach the dial and then the nut from the front. Tighten the nut.

Attach the hands on top of the screw thread; the small hand (the hour hand) first and then the large hand (the minute hand). Give them a light push until a 'click' is heard. Now attach the second hand.

Use the hands as an indicator for where to draw the numbers on the dial. Use the template and draw the numbers with a pencil.

Logical-mathematical intelligence. Enhanced by activities in which children must use their abilities to use mathematics in practice (but also when playing with number theory, equations, geometry, topology).

Personal intelligence. Enhanced by activities in which children must use their self-awareness, the ability to act and make personal decisions in a way which is adapted to match their surroundings.
