Make a Big Cook Little Cook Timer

Evie and Gyasi show you how to make a timer just like the one from the Big Cook Little Cook cafe.

You will need
  • 2 paper plates
  • Stickers
  • Paint - orange, yellow and red
  • Scissors (grown-ups use only)
  • Card
  • Glue stick
  • Yellow pipe cleaners
  • Modelling clay
  • Pencil
  • Paint one paper plate yellow.

  • Paint the inner circle of the other paper plate orange.

  • When the paint is dry, ask a grown-up to cut the orange inner circle out using the scissors.

  • Fold the circle 4 times to make 8 segments.

  • Ask a grown-up to cut the orange circle into 8 segments following the fold lines.

  • Stick the orange segments onto the yellow paint with the glue.

  • Draw a spoon shape onto the card and ask a grown-up to cut it out, then paint the handle red.

  • Using modelling clay and a pencil, make a hole in the centre of the plate.

  • Wrap the pipe cleaner around the middle of the spoon, twist it and feed it through the hole in the plate. Make sure the spoon can spin around.

  • Decorate the plate with stickers or add numbers around the edge of the plate.
