We have joined forces with a fab team of kid\u2019s bloggers to\u00a0bring you \u201cRhyme Time\u201d every second Wednesday. Each part of the series will\u00a0focus on a different children\u2019s nursery rhyme and each of the bloggers involved\u00a0will be sharing an activity based on that week\u2019s rhyme. We will be sharing arts\u00a0and crafts projects, learning activities, games, messy play ideas and more.\u00a0 We are kicking off the series today with \u201cHickory Dickory Dock.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is very timely for us, as my 7 year old son is doing a\u00a0lot of work in school right now on learning to tell the time. He is doing\u00a0really well with this, but to help make his homework that bit more fun and to\u00a0encourage of bit of extra practise, I have made him a \u201cFelt Learning Clock” for our themed activity.<\/div>\n

How to make a Felt Learning Clock<\/h2>\n

\"felt<\/a><\/h2>\n
\n

I choose to make our clock using the traditional brown, white and black colours of a big Grandfather Clock, which I always think of when I hear the rhyme \u201cHickory Dickory Dock,\u201d but you could use any colours of felt that you have to hand.<\/p>\n

I cut out a large circle from a sheet of light brown felt and laid this over a sheet of dark brown felt. I then cut out the individual numbers for the clock from a sheet of black felt and the clock hands from white felt.<\/p>\n

Setting the clock face \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0To help get familiar with a clock face place all of the numbers around the clock in random order and ask your child to place them onto the clock in the correct positions.<\/p>\n

Telling the Time<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 You can either call out different times for your child to make on the clock face or you could make a selection of flashcards with different times on for them to pick from and work through.<\/p>\n

Hickory Dickory Dock Felt Clock games for 5 year olds<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
Number recognition and number ordering<\/b> \u2013 My 5 year old son\u00a0hates to miss out on any of activities, so I used the clock face with him to
\nwork on basic number recognition and number ordering work.<\/div>\n

Basic telling the time\u00a0<\/strong>– \u00a0I also started to introduce telling the time to him, by working through the 1 o\u2019clock, 2\u2019oclock verses of the \u201cHickoryDickory Dock<\/a>\u201d and showing him each of these times on the clock face and then asking him to do them.<\/p>\n
