The nonprofit Kids Time helps cheer up the hospital rooms of sick children across the country by giving them whimsically decorated wall clocks. Kids in the Boys and Girls Club or scout organizations assemble the clocks, and more than 3,500 clocks have been donated to date. To make the clocks, donated watches are upcycled and incorporated into the design of the clock. Twelve wristwatch faces are glued over the larger clock's numbers to give it personality. You can empty your jewelry box, junk drawer and dresser of broken or unused watches to Kids Time. To learn how, just visit kidstimeclocks.org.
