Days of the Week Wheel

Gather your materials. You will need: several sheets of coloured paper, a pencil, a ruler, scissors, glue, a bowl (to trace around), markers, a glue stick, and a round-head fastener.

[pods]

Using the pencil, trace around the bowl to make a circle. Cut it out.

[pods]

Find the centre of the circle using the ruler and put a dot there. Then divide the circle into seven sections using the pencil and ruler. Outline the segments with marker once you have them divided.

[pods]

Add the days of the week, one per section, moving clockwise around the circle. If you want to decorate the wheel more, go for it!

[pods]

Cut out a fun shape from another piece of paper and glue it onto a third, with enough space for the wheel at the bottom. Three contrasting colours of paper will really make the craft pop.

[pods]

Align the wheel on the paper so the cut-out shape frames the top. Push the round-head fastener through the wheel and the paper to fasten them together while allowing the wheel to spin.

[pods]

Add lines on the cut-out shape following the lines on the wheel. Label the centre space “Today is,” the right space “Tomorrow will be,” and the left space “Yesterday was.” Add arrows to show whether we are moving forward or backwards in time.

[pods]

Add a title on top! Now you can spin your wheel back and forth to practice the days of the week and the concepts of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
