Here's Paper Clocks, another Hap Palmer song turned into a book.  To make this book, print out the PDF file linked below. You should do this on card stock or you can use paper then mount the pages onto something stiffer and laminate. Now cut the lyric pages carefully and make sure you keep them in order.  Now punch two holes on the left side of the lyrics. Take the clock page and punch a hole in the center of the clock.  Cut out a set of hands from the last page; punch a hole in the circular end and mount them on the clock using a brass brad.  Now you have a clock with hands.  Next, line up the lyrics with bottom of the clock page and punch matching holes into the clock page.  Now attach the pages to the clock page using two rings. You are now ready to go.

As the music plays turn the hands to match the time in the song.  You can also make individual clocks and have the children turn their own clock to go with the music.  Hint: if you laminate the hands, you can tape down the minute hand in the 12 position; this way you only have to turn the hour hand as you do the song.  With laminated hands and a laminated clock the tape should come right off if you decide to do more advanced activities.

Enjoy!
