Turkey Time Paper Plate Clock

Here is a simple and fun Thanksgiving Project to make with the kids. The kids can use the clock all month to practice their Telling Time skills.

I found these turkey paper plates at the supermarket but you could use a solid color plate and have students draw a fun turkey in the middle.

The felt numbers were purchased at a craft store (with a discount coupon). This particular set needed to be glued on the plate but most packages of numbers already have a sticky backing.

The clock hands were cut from craft foam purchased at the dollar store and the brass fastener was bought in a box at Staples but can also be purchased at supermarkets, drug stores, etc.

Many students have difficulty learning to tell time with analog clocks, so providing them with a fun activity where they can make their own clock should be an incentive to practice this skill.

Halloween Paper Plate Clock

Learning to tell time can be a very difficult concept for some kids. Here's a Halloween clock that the kids can create to make learning more fun. Plus by tying in crafts with a holiday project the kids won't realize that they are in fact working on a math concept.

Materials Needed

• paper plate (decorated or solid color)
• number stickers or markers
• craft foam or cardboard
• scissors
• brass fastener
• crayons

Directions

Use a Halloween decorated paper plate. (These plates were found at the supermarket. The cost was $1.00 for a set of 8 paper plates.) Or, use a plain paper plate and have students decorate the plate with crayons, colored pencils, etc. (Lots of great color plates can be found at the Dollar Stores.)

Have students place the number stickers on the appropriate places on the clock, or write the numbers on the clock with a marker or other writing tool.

With younger students the adult should cut 2 hands for the clock with craft foam or cardboard and attach the hands to the clock with a brass fastener.
