Once those beautifully colored watch pages are complete and piling up, give them a second life with these easy and affordable crafts!
1. Wearable Wristwatch
Cut out your favorite colored watch face. From construction paper, cut two long strips to create a wristband and attach them to the sides of the watch face with glue or tape. Secure the ends of the wristband with more tape or a staple to fit your wrist, creating a fun, personalized watch you can wear.
2. Pocket Watch Fob Necklace
Carefully cut out a smaller, intricate pocket watch design from your coloring page. Glue it onto a piece of sturdy cardboard (like from a cereal box) and trim around the edges. Punch a small hole at the top, thread a piece of yarn or ribbon through it, and tie to create a charming pocket watch-style necklace.
3. “Time Flies” Mobile
Cut out various clocks, watches, and hourglass shapes from several colored pages. Use a hole punch to make a hole at the top of each cutout. Tie different lengths of string or yarn to each cutout, then attach them to a lightweight stick or even a wire clothes hanger to create a delightful, time-themed hanging mobile.
4. Cuckoo Clock Stand-Up
Create a simple house shape from construction paper or a small cardboard box, leaving an opening for the watch face. Glue your colored watch page into this opening. Decorate the “house” with popsicle sticks, marker drawings, or even a small paper bird cutout to bring your cuckoo clock to life.
5. Grandfather Clock Bookmark
Select a tall, rectangular grandfather clock design from your coloring pages. Glue it onto a piece of heavy cardstock or poster board for durability. Carefully cut around the outline. Punch a hole at the top and thread a small tassel made from yarn or a colorful ribbon through it to create a unique bookmark.
6. “Tell the Time” Learning Clock
Cut out a large, circular watch face with clear numbers from a finished coloring page. Glue it onto a paper plate or a piece of sturdy cardboard. Cut out two clock hands from construction paper, one short and one long. Attach the hands to the center of the clock face with a brass fastener so they can move, perfect for practicing telling time!
7. Alarm Clock Pencil Holder
Find an empty toilet paper roll or small tin can. Cut out various alarm clock bells, numbers, or full alarm clock shapes from your colored pages. Glue these cutouts all around the roll or can, layering them as desired. Use this decorated container to neatly store pencils, crayons, or other small desk supplies.
8. Watch Magnet Set
Cut out small, distinct watch designs, such as a wristwatch face, a classic clock, or an hourglass. Glue each cutout onto a piece of thin cardboard (like from a cereal box) and trim. Attach a small craft magnet to the back of each piece using strong glue. Now you have a fun set of watch-themed magnets for your fridge or whiteboard!
9. “Time Capsule” Jar Decoration
Gather an empty, clean jar (plastic or glass). Cut out several watch faces, gears, or time-related patterns from your finished coloring pages. Apply a layer of white glue to the outside of the jar, then carefully adhere your cutouts. Once dry, you'll have a beautifully decorated jar perfect for storing special memories or small treasures.
10. Watch Face Coasters
Cut out circular watch faces from your colored pages, making sure they are roughly coaster-sized. Glue each watch face onto a square of cardboard (from an old box works well). For durability and water resistance, cover the top of each coaster with clear contact paper, pressing out any air bubbles, then trim the edges neatly.
