Print Project

Step 1
Use a round object (such as a dinner plate) to trace a circle onto a 12"x12" [30.48 cm x 30.48 cm] piece of paper. Cut out the circle.
Step 2
Draw and cut out arrows from a scrap sheet of paper.
Step 3
ADULT: Attach the arrows to the centre of the circle with a brad.
Step 4
Count out the coins, using the pennies, nickels, and dimes to represent numbers on the clock.
TIP: For example, one o’clock is represented by one penny. Six o’clock is represented by a nickel and a penny.
Step 5
Glue the coins onto the clock using a glue stick. (If you’re worried that the glue stick isn’t strong enough to hold the coins, don't worry! It is!)
TIP: Practise moving the hands of the clock and adding up the coins.
