Paper Plate Clock.
To help teach your child how to tell time.

You will need a stiff white paper plate, marker, metal paper tab, and a piece of construction paper.
1- With the marker write the numbers 1 through 12 on the paper plate like it was a clock.
2- Using the construction paper make two pointers for the hands of the clock.
3- Make a tiny hole in middle of plate with pen knife.
4- Put clock hands in mid clock position. Now punch holes through clock hands with metal tab. Secure tab in back. Note: Do not make the tab so tight that it is hard to move the hands of the clock.
