We made this craft for a lesson on stewardship and how we spend our time.  It’s a bit labor-intensive, so leave plenty of time.  Also, you will want to have several adults/teens available, as some kids will need significant help.  I printed the circles in several different colors to give the kids lots of options for their colorful clocks.

Materials:

• Paper plates (I used colored to make it look fancy!)
• Colored card stock
• Printable Clock Circles for numbers (2 sheets is enough for 7 clocks)
• Printable “Always Make Time for God” sheet (or write it yourself)
• Glue
• Brass brads
• Large needle (or other sharp item to poke hole in plate)
• Markers
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Print enough Clock Circles pages for the children participating.  Two sheets is enough for seven children.
2. Have children write the numbers 1-12 on their circles and then cut them out.
3. Glue numbers on plate, looking at a clock for reference if needed.
4. Cut out “Always Make Time for God” phrase and glue on plate (towards top or bottom), or write the text on using a marker.
5. Poke a hole in the middle of the plate. (Adult job)
6. Use scraps of colored card stock to cut out hands for the clock.
7. Poke hole through ends of hands and push the brass brad through them. (Adult job)
8. Line up with hole in paper plate and push brad through.  Spread prongs on back of plate to hold clock hands in place.
9. Let glue dry.
