FlikA BROTHER AND A SISTER
Flik, the blue and white “big brother” minute hand, takes 1 minute to move from one number to the next around the matching minute circle. It takes him 1 hour to return to his starting point at 60. Meanwhile, Flak the red “little sister” hour hand, slowly and steadily moves forward to point in turn to each of the colour-coded hour numbers. It takes her 12 hours to return to her starting point.
IN CHILDRENS WORDS
Flik is taller and older than Flak and, of course, he can walk faster. He moves around the 60 minute dial while his little sister, Flak, moves more slowly on her short legs, stepping forward one little hour at a time! They run behind each other, every step they make indicating the time.
Flak, the little girl, is the hour hand that should be read first (ladies first); then Flik, the older brother, indicates the minutes. And that is how you read the time!
Each standard Flik Flak packaging contains a watch for children to play with and learn to read the time.
