When the coronavirus pandemic quarantine period began in Spring/Summer 2020, I realised that lots of people were going to find themselves at home with their children for several weeks/months looking for things to do. So I decided to post a draw-along video every Tuesday and Thursday that parents could watch with their kids and, hopefully, make some nice pictures. They have proved very popular, garnering millions of views across the world. On 21 May 2020 we broke the Guinness World Record for the largest online art lesson when 45,611 households drew a whale with me. From September 2020 lockdown gradually began to ease and kids started going back to school, so I decided to move the #DrawWithRob video slot to Saturdays at 10am BST/GMT so that kids can join in with my Saturday Art Club. And then in August 2021 as life returned to (something like) normal, the videos began to be released slightly more sporadically. But I'm still going! Keep an eye on my social feeds or sign up to my newsletter here to find out when the next video will be released.

Here are all of the videos (scroll down the page). Feel free to watch and share them with anybody and everybody. I'd love to see the results, so please send me your pictures on social media using the hashtag #DrawWithRob. I am @RobBiddulph on Twitter, @rbiddulph on Instagram and robbiddulphauthor on Facebook.
Oh, and please subscribe to my YouTube channel too.

I'm delighted to say that DRAW WITH ROB is now an incredible activity book series (every page features perforated edges so you can easily tear out and display your art). The first book is a Sunday Times number one bestseller, the winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award 2020 and was shortlisted for Children's Illustrated/Non-fiction Book of The Year at the British Book Awards 2021. The second book, Draw With Rob at Christmas, is also a bestseller and was the WHSmith Book of the Month for November 2020. The third book, Draw With Rob: Build A Story, the fourth book, Draw With Rob: Monster Madness, the fifth book, Draw With Rob: Amazing Animals, and the sixth book, Draw With Rob at Halloween, are (guess what) bestsellers too! They are all available to order here.

From Thursday we will be looking at analogue clocks. You may want to get an analogue clock to help you with your questions, if you do not have one at home you can use then you can access one here.

A final option is creating your own clock using a paper plate. There is information on the website below, but it will need minute increments.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Teach Your Kids to Tell Time With This Simple Craft

You can teach kids to tell time with this paper plate clock craft tutorial. Most children can easily understand time with digital clocks, but face a bit of a challenge learning to recognize time on an analog clock. Although digital clocks are quite popular these days, analog clocks aren't going away any time soon, and reading them is a skill a child will have to master. Help your kids stay ahead of the curve with this easy paper clock craft project, which is great to do at home or in the classroom.

Before you can even start working with a paper clock, your children must understand three essential skills:

They must be able to count from one to 60.

They must be able to count by fives.

They must have a general understanding of time. For instance, they should know the difference between morning, noon, and night.

After your child has mastered the basic counting principles, they are ready to start learning how to tell time on a paper clock.

Gather Your Materials

To get started, gather the following supplies:

Paper plate (can be colored or white)

Craft paint

Paintbrush

Crayons, markers, or pens

Cardstock

Number stickers (1 to 12)

Paper brad

Age-appropriate scissors

Optional: embellishments to decorate the clock

Apply the Number Stickers to the Paper Plate

If you are using a plain white paper plate, you may paint it a color of your choice, or you can keep it white. Your kids might have fun decorating the paper plates in colors that they love.

If you want to save time, skip a step and use a marker to write on the paper plates instead of using stickers. Draw the numbers 12, 3, 6, and 9 around the inner edges of your plate with a marker, then fill in the rest of the numbers. This trick will help you keep the numbers evenly spaced around the plate.

You can make your paper clock fancier by placing sticker numbers from 1 to 12 around the circumference of your paper plate. Make sure to put the numbers 12, 3, 6, and 9 on the plate first, the same as if you were drawing the numbers on with a marker. Then place the rest of the numbers in the appropriate spaces around the inner edge of the paper clock.

For young children who may have difficulty placing the numbers in the proper places around the face of the clock, you can write them on in pencil, and your child can match the sticker numbers up with your pencil marks, and glue them in place.

Make and Attach the Paper Plate Clock Hands

Draw two rectangles on a sheet of card stock. One rectangle should be long for the minute hand and the other rectangle should be shorter for the hour hand.

Cut the rectangles out with scissors.

Cut a point on one short edge of each rectangle with scissors.

Turn the paper plate over and mark the center of the plate with a pen, pencil, or marker.

Use the sharp point of the scissors to pierce a small hole in the center of the paper plate.

Turn the plate over.

Pierce small holes onto the square end of your clock hands and insert the paper brad.

Insert the paper brad with the hands into the middle hole on top of the paper plate and pull the brad apart on the back to secure it to the paper plate. Make sure that the brad is loose enough to allow free movement of the clock hands.

Teach Your Child the Difference Between the Clock Hands

To help your child distinguish the difference between the clock hands, use a marker to write minute on the long hand and hour on the shorter hand.

Paper Plate Clock Craft Variations

Technically, the clock is finished at this point. We crafters, however, always have to take it a step further and put our creative mark on things! You can embellish the paper plate clock with paper flowers, buttons, washi tape, or whatever you feel like to give it some fun and pizzazz. Use your imagination to make the paper clock special while having fun with your child.
