Shape Clock

A fun way to teach shapes and introduce time!

Materials

  • Laminator
  • Crayola Brand Construction Paper Pre-Cut Shapes (or cut your own shapes!)
  • Paint
  • Cardboard
  • Velcro Dots
  • Paintbrush
  • Rubber Band

How To

  • Cut out a circle large enough to fit 12 shapes around
  • Paint the cardboard and set it aside.
  • Punch out 12 shapes. We chose two sets of every color of the rainbow so they could be set opposite each other.
  • Laminating them will make them slightly thicker and stronger. Place them around the clock and write the numbers in appropriate order!
  • Count out 12 Velcro’s and place the soft side around the clock where the numbers should be.
  • Apply the scratchy side of the Velcro to the back of the shape with the corresponding number.
  • Measure out two arrows and laminate them.
  • Punch a hole through the ends, using the tip of the scissors.
  • Punch a hole through the center of the clock and pull a rubber band through it. Make a knot at both ends to secure the arrows. You did it!
