Description

Made some minor changes to Jakob's design to make it easier for younger toddlers to learn how to read a clock. In particular the Clock_Face file was modified:

  • Added numbers to minute lines at intervals of 5. Not too cluttered and confusing, but sufficient numbers for toddlers learn and estimate the minutes better

  • The hour numbers are cut through, and will show the colour used to print the Clock Body (original Jakob's file). You can change the colour for the clock body to match that of the hour hand.

  • Added a colour wheel in the middle to further guide reading of the clock. As long as the hour hand is still within a particular numbered colour tab, that particular hour is still applicable (using the photo as an example, the red hand is still hovering over the blue 12 tab, therefore showing that it is still 12+. Can be used if kids are confused whether it is 12-something or 1-something in this case. The tabs are printed separately and glued on.

Added the individual tabs for the colour wheel mentioned above.

Recommended to print the minute hand and minute lines/numbers in the same colour, and likewise for the hour hand and the clock body.
