How you choose to use these printables is completely up to you and you probably already have a plan. If not, one of the best ideas is to make a clock with moving hands. It is a fun craft activity for kids who are learning how to tell the time.

To do this activity, what you will need is –

• Scissors
• Glue (Sticky tape and staplers can also be used)
• A craft split pin or paper fastener
• Pens, pencils, or crayons (optional)

The steps are –

1 – The first thing you should do to your printable clock faces is to add any colors or details that you want. You might want to decorate them with small pictures or depending on which PDF you have chosen, add minutes and the numbers of the hours.

2 – Once this is done, simply cut out the clocks and hands around the outer edge. If you find the clock hands are a bit thin you can cut them out a bit wider or make new ones.

Note that this can be done on paper but printing on cardstock or sticking the clocks to cardboard works much better. This way the clocks are more durable and less prone to tearing. If you have printed on paper, the next thing that you will need to do is glue the clock face and hands to cardboard. Afterward, cut them out.

3 – The first printable clock face above has the center of the clock marked with a dot. For the other pages, you will need to find this point yourself. It is very easy to do.

With a ruler measure and find the middle of the circle between the 12 oçlock and 6 oçlock marks. There you have it! Just draw a small dot there with a pen or pencil. You can also double-check this by finding the middle of 9 oçlock and 3 oçlock.

4 – Now that you have the center of the clocks make a very small hole there with a pen or sharp pencil. Do this again at the base end of your clock hands.

5 – Finally, attach the hands to the center of the clocks. Just line up the holes of all 3 pieces push your split pin through and fold the ends at the back. You now have a clock with rotating arms!
