Felt Friday #2: Time's a-wastin!

There are many different forms of literacy, and reading a clock is one of them. In the past few years, I've seen a slew of new books about reading a clock, many with great moveable parts, including Telling Time with Big Mama Cat and Quelle heure est-il, Mimi?

If I was going to re-do this felt, I would make the arms of the clock out of something more durable than felt, but still reasonably light so they don't flop around: maybe leather? Or plastic?

Some tick-tock songs for you:

Clock Song (tune: "The Wheels on the Bus")
The hands on the clock go round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
The hands on the clock go round and round.
To tell us the time.

The short hand on the clock
Goes from number to number,
Number to number, number to number.
The short hand on the clock
Goes from number to number.
To tell us the time.

The long hand on the clock
Goes around by fives,
Around by fives, around by fives.
The long hand on the clock
Goes around by fives.
To tell us the minutes.

HIckory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock;
The clock struck One,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory Dickory Dock!

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock;
The clock struck Two,
The mouse said BOO!
Hickory Dickory Dock!

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock;
The clock struck Three,
The mouse said Wheeeee...
As he slid down the clock!
