2. Easy Paper Plate Clock Craft
Ready to start crafting with your little one?
While we were having a great time coloring, cutting out and putting up for display this free printable clock template, me and my preschooler decided to make our own large clock out of paper plates.
Draw and cut out two arrows on colored paper.
One arrow should be long for the minute hand and the other should be shorter for the hour hand.
Poke a small hole in the center of the paper plate, then attach the arrows with a split pin paper fastener.
Using black marker, write the numbers one to twelve.
You can set the clock for the time you wish and ask your child “What time is it?”
This easy clock craft will help your kids to learn how to read time quickly.
