Cut lines at the top, bottom, and both sides of a paper plate. Then, cut two lines between each of the four cuts to create the hours on the clock. 2. Mark the centre on both plates and carefully make a hole with a pencil. 3. Write the numbers 1 to 12 on one plate to create the hours. You can write o’clock below the 12, quarter past by the 3, half past above the 6 and quarter to beside the 9. 4. Cut out a small hand and a long hand and attach these to the front of the plates. 5. Mark the bottom plate with the minutes eg. behind 1 put 05, 2 put 10 etc. counting up in 5s. You should now have a working clock!
