Craft a weather clock

IKEA hack with free download template

Today it can rain, storm or snow ... because you're shining like the sunshine yourself! Do you also sing this lovely birthday song for children? Our daily lives are strongly influenced by the weather: when the sun is shining, we want to go outside as much as possible, but when it's stormy and raining, we prefer to stay indoors and make ourselves cosy with a cup of cocoa.

To introduce your kids to the different weather phenomena in a playful way, we would like to make a weather clock with you today. We have prepared a very simple IKEA hack with a free download for you. Let's go!

Sun, clouds, lightning and thunder - learning through play with the weather clock

Sometimes it's windy, sometimes it's sunny and sometimes it even snows. But how does the weather actually come about? And what happens when it rains and thunderstorms? Your children will learn about the weather at primary school at the latest. But you can also introduce your little ones to the topic in a playful way at home. And it's really easy - with our free craft template, you can make a colourful weather clock in no time at all. A very simple IKEA hack with guaranteed success!

This IKEA hack really can be made in no time at all. Firstly, send us our free craft template using the form. You can print out the PDF as soon as you receive it. It's best to use a slightly thicker paper. As soon as you have printed out the template, you can cut it out.

Step 2: Attach the weather clock and hands

Now you've almost done it! The last step is to grab the cork coaster* and the drawing pin. Now place the cut-out weather clock on the trivet, with the hands on top. And now you can simply pin the clock and hands to the marked points on the trivet using the pin. That's it! That's how quickly you can make a beautiful weather clock!

Off on the sledge! The weather clock shows: snow!
