These are the parts you need for the sundial. The base is a piece of plywood 13×15 centimeter and about 2 centimeter thick. The hour lines can be printed from the photo further on in this blog. The “gnomon” is the part that throws a shadow on the base and the hour lines, so you can read the time!
The sundial base is made of plywood, about 13x15 centimeter and 2 cm thick. Cut a slot through the middle about one centimeter deep. Then decorate the base with some colourful tape.
The “gnomon” is made from cardboard or plywood or any other suitable material. We made it from stiff plastic. Any colour is OK.
The hour lines are printed on stiff white paper, then cut out along the dotted line and the vertical and horizontal lines as shown in the next photo.
