Do you have kids who have moved away or other extended family members that you’re close too? Create a time zone clock wall complete with photos to keep them in your mind and hearts all day long! It’s the next best thing to being there! Well, not really but it’s still pretty cool.

Do you have children that live in other states? Or grandmas and grandpas, mothers, fathers, or any extended family that you’re close to? Here is an idea to keep them in your mind and hearts all the time. Create a time zone clock wall complete with photos of each person.  The entire wall cost me about $16.  I added their names and state with labels underneath but that’s optional.  When all of our four kids were in other states this wall gave me a feeling of connection to them.blank630x20

Supplies

  • Inexpensive plastic clocks (I purchased mine at Walmart for $3.98 each)
  • 5x7 frames (I already had some I had purchased from the Dollar Store)
  • Photos of each person. Reprints are cheap at most one hour photo places i.e. Walgreens, Walmart etc.
  • Name labels, if desired.
  • Spray paint for frames if desired.

Instructions for Extended Family Time Zone Clock Wall

The wall is quick to assemble once you have the items. I already had a bunch of frames. I spray painted them to match my decor. I purchased cheap clocks at Walmart and just kept them white. I have a Silhouette cutter so I cut out names and the state of each child but that's optional.  I placed Roy and I in the center.blank630x20

Clocks for each family member. $3.98 each at Walmart.
