Default Cardboard Clock

I got me a paper clock for starters. It is a large book you can buy at a crafts store. Each page (is made of thick almost cardboard like paper) has different 2D drawings only on one side of a cukoo clock on them. Your job is to diligently cut them out and fold and glue (very very carefully) certain pieces here and there together to make 3D pieces like gears and so forth and many moons later you have a bonified working Honest to God Clock. This will be my third in the last 15 years. They are quite big when you are done. The book is about $11.00 and I bought my last two through Amazon.com. (just do a search under paper clock). I gave one to my nephew. He is still working on it and loves it.

I cannot do to much of it very often becasue of my eyes and my hands. You have to have good coordination of both and I don't alot of the time. But they are wicked fun. That's my suggestion so far!!! Chin Up!!! xoxoxo
