Clock Hands That Erase!

Why

Keep up with the time! This erasable clock face is perfect for practice!


Steps

1. Learning how to tell time? The hands on this clock are erasable, so you can set the time again and again.


2. On a white paper plate, draw a clock face with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils. Space the numbers evenly. If you like, add designs around the clock, minute marks, or other decorations.


3. Find a partner. Draw an hour and minute hand. Ask your partner to read your clock and tell you the correct time. Erase the time.


4. Give the clock to your partner. Ask that person to draw a new time. You tell the time, they erase it, and you continue playing as long as you like.


Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Adaptations

  • Tell their partner a specific activity such as eating dinner. The partner can then show an appropriate time on the clock face for that activity.
