Design your own clock!

You need:
  1. plywood plate
  2. coping saw
  3. sandpaper
  4. carbon paper
  5. pencil
  6. clock
  7. tempera paint
  8. brush
  9. things to symbolize figures
  10. picture hook
Children first make a design for their clock on paper. With carbon paper this design has to be copied on the jigsaw. Saw the clock and sand it smooth. Don't forget the edges. Paint the clock with tempera. Paste figures or other things to symbolize the figures on your clock. Fix a hook on the backside and hang your clock.
All clocks are made by students of 11-12 years old.
Thanks to Ton Sommers.

Athletes and their shadows


You need:
  1. plywood plate on A4 size
  2. coping saw
  3. sandpaper
  4. carbon paper
  5. pencil
  6. strong glue
  7. black construction paper for background
  8. tempera and brushes
Search in a newspaper, magazine or on the Internet for a photo of an athlete in motion. Note that, if you would print the photo in black, you'll see well what the athlete does. Place carbon paper with the black side down on your board. Lay the picture above. Trace the athlete. Press firmly. Saw the athlete neat and sand the edges smooth. Paint the two parts in the colours you like. Don't forget the edges! Glue your board on a piece of cardboard and paste the sawn-athletes with some space between. You will see an athlete with his own shadow!

Wooden landscape


You need

  1. piece of plywood 15 by 15 cm
  2. coping saw
  3. coloured paper
  4. tempera
  5. brushes
  6. gold marker
An exercise in figure saw.
The students draw on their board from left to right a straight line, a zigzag line and a wavy lijn. These lines have to be sawn. The individual parts are then sanded and painted (possibly decorated with gold marker). Finally glue the parts on a piece of coloured paper: a wooden landscape!
