Valentine's Day Paper Plate Clock Craft Activity

Whether children are learning to tell time or doing more advanced math with elapsed time, they'll enjoy making their own clock.

Here's a VALENTINE CLOCK that kids can make with adult help and supervision.


Materials

• paper plate - your choice of color (I found some decorated plates at the supermarket!)
• heart shapes (I cut these from foam sheets purchased at the Dollar Store but a package of precut stick-on heart shapes would work great. )
• magic marker
• heavy paper or foam for clock hands
• paper fastener
• glue stick
• scissors

Directions

• Have the kids use a decorated Valentine's Day paper plate or draw a heart in the middle of a solid color paper plate, if desired.  
• Color or decorate the edges of the plate, if desired.
• Adhere 12 heart stickers around the plate or make your own hearts with foam or paper and then glue them on the plate. If you have a heart punch, that would work great!
• Number the hearts (1-12).
• Have the adult, draw 2 clock hands on paper or foam sheets, then cut them out.
• Have an adult insert a paper fastener through the 2 clock hands then through the center of the plate. 
• Now it's 'TIME' for the kids to enjoy math with their new paper plate clock! 

Happy Valentine's Day!
