Learning to tell the time
When the big hand is on 12 and the small hand is on 4, it’s 4 o’clock or 16 o’clock! Learning to tell the time isn’t as easy as it sounds. But teaching it takes patience too. As soon as the constant questions about the time start, these IKEA hacks will come in very handy. We’ve put together a learning clock for you – complete with a free craft template. Let’s get started!

How to make the learning clock
And just like that, you’re ready to get started and help little ones learn to tell the time. The learning clock is also perfect for nursery or pre-school. Thanks to the flip-open feature on the children’s clock, your little ones will easily learn that ‘5’ can also mean ‘5.00 pm’.
