There’s no doubt that this “Good Morning!” Spinning Clock Craft with Greetings will be a regular part of many lessons for teachers, but why not go one step further and let every student make their own clock? Not only is it cheap to make, but it’s also incredibly simple with very little preparation required.

We recommend cutting out all the parts, laminating them, and cutting them out again, but you can always skip the laminating part with the kids. Just be sure to print them on a little heavier card stock if you want them to last for a few days.

Just download and print our free “Good Morning!” Spinning Clock Craft with Greetings template here, grab your scissors, and start! If you plan on laminating the clock, then printing on regular paper is fine. If you choose not to laminate, then the heavier the paper, the better. We like to print our “Good Morning!” Spinning Clock Craft with Greetings on A3-size paper, but any size you choose will be fine.
 
Finally, you can use a brad pin to assemble all the moving parts on the clock craft, but we recommend using a rivet with a setting tool and hammer for a safer, more durable finished product.
