How to Make the Clock:
- First, allow your child to color the edges of the paper plate with crayons. Let children get creative and decorate around the clock however they’d like. If children want to color the center, make sure this is one color so it won’t be distracting when kids are trying to tell time.
- Next, cut 12 small circles out of paper and label them 1-12 using a marker. These will go around the edge of the plate as the clock numbers.
- Use a glue stick to place the numbers around the plate in order. This step will help kids practice recognizing numbers and counting while also getting them familiar with a clock face to help prepare them to tell time.
- Then, cut one long arrow and one short arrow out of paper to use as clock hands.
- Secure the arrows to the center of the paper plate by sticking a paper clip through both arrows and into the plate. Make sure the arrows are able to swivel so kids can adjust them to different times.
