Christmas Time - Fun Paper Plate Clocks

Seasonal Decorated Paper Plate used to make a Fun Clock

At this time of year the children are so focused on the holidays! Use that interest to try some activities that have a holiday theme and are also educational.

A fun paper plate Holiday Clock can be made with the students then used to teach or review Telling Time or Elapsed Time.

You can make lots of clocks with a simple paper plate. Use a white paper plate and paint it a fun color, or use any of the fun colors found at dollar stores (usually 20 plates for $1.00), or a seasonal decorated paper plate found at supermarkets, craft stores, etc.

Supplies Needed

• paper plates
• sticky foam numbers (or a marker to write the numbers)
• heavy paper or foam to make the clock hands
• scissors
• paper fastener (1 per plate)
• Construction Paper or Christmas stickers (optional)
• Paint + paint brush, Markers, Crayons (optional)
• Glue (optional)

Plain Red Paper Plate used to make a Fun Clock

The Christmas clock pictured directly above was made with a plain red paper plate. The tree in the middle of the plate is a paper gift tag that can be glued or fastened to the center of the plate to give the clock a festive look. Children can also design or color their own trees with drawing or construction paper and crayons. The clock hands are made from foam sheets purchased at a Dollar store. The foam clock numbers were also purchased at a Dollar Store (200 numbers in a package)! A package of paper fasteners was purchased at Staples.

Have fun at Christmas Time learning about Time!
