Try in the Kids Studio →In Hikmet Dede's repair shop, everything had a sound: the radios crackled, the teapot bubbled and the big clock on the wall went tick-tock. Tıkır loved the clock's sound best of all. One morning, the clock went quiet.
"Dede, the clock's stopped!" called Ela. But Hikmet Dede had gone to the market that day. Tıkır's lamp eyes lit up. "Then we'll look at it ourselves."
Let’s talk as a family: “How did Ela and Tıkır find out why the clock had stopped? Which guesses were wrong? 2) What do you do when something at home doesn't work?”
When the shop clock stops, children work with Tıkır and Ela to list the possible causes, start with the easiest guess, test each one in turn, update the list as they go and find the problem by listening and looking carefully.
In the colouring pages, children colour Tıkır looking at the gears through a magnifying glass and Ela cheering when the clock works again, saying their own "list of guesses" out loud. In seek-and-find, they search the repair shop, guessing where to look first and then checking.
1) How did Ela and Tıkır find out why the clock had stopped? Which guesses were wrong? 2) What do you do when something at home doesn't work? Together: Pick a toy with flat batteries, a lamp that won't switch on or a stuck zip. Say three possible reasons together, then try them one by one, starting with the easiest. Tick on a piece of paper which one worked.
