Hands-on practice helps kids tell time

Children see so many digital clocks that they can't always tell time on a clock with hands. Help your child practice by drawing a clock face on a paper plate and using two strips of paper for hands. Next, ask questions such as, "When you feed the dog at 8:00, where are the hands on the clock?" or "Where are the hands when school lets out at 3:30?" Let your child take control and move the hands to the correct time.
