At Steve and Blue's house, their friend Tickety Tock--a soft and colorful clock, pops up when it's time for an activity. From mail time to story time, Tickety Tock teaches kids about the wonders of time. For a "wailing" activity that's also educational, let your guests create their own clocks out of paper plates and paint.

MATERIALS

Dinner style paper plates
Sheet foam
Paper fasteners
Glue stick
Craft glues
Scissors
Red markers, crayons or paint

DIRECTIONS

1. For each clock, have your guests color the edge of a dinner plate red, then help them draw the clock's numbers around the center of the plate.

2. Draw or paint two oval eyes and a smile in the center.

3. Cut out the bells from blue foam sheet, and alarm and feet from black foam sheet.

4. Glue the bells on the top corners of the clock, the feet on the bottom corners, and the alarm in the tops' center with craft glue.

5. Cut out the clock's hands from black foam sheet and fasten in the center with a paper fastener.
