GOGO Log Clock

First to recommend

Description

You'll have to look at the pictures to get the idea. Essentially, you purchase this long strip of functioning clocks mounted onto what looks like a 2 x 4, then you cut them down to single clocks. Next, you can decorate it haowever you see fit. Wonderful family activity and project idea for all ages. Take a look. (via Gogo)
