Time Teller - Lift and Peek

Loved Mrs. Madden's paper plate clock, so I made one - great for visual learners. Grab two paper plates, count every 4 to 5 notches (indentions in the plate) and make your cuts. Write your hours numbers in between the cut notches. Then, take your second plate and hold it underneath your hours plate. Make marks to indicate where your number should be. Once, your plate is marked, choose another marker color and add your numbers by your pencil marks. Stack your plates, hours on top and make a hole for your fastener. Create colorful clock hands (matching hours and minutes), attach hands with your fastener and presto - a time teller cheat and peek!


Kids can take a peek if they forget how to read minutes. For example, the minutes hand falls on the 3. They lift up the flap and see the number 15 (3 x 5 = 15). The minutes hand is on 15.
