This clock learning set helps children develop time-telling skills through interactive activities. The 41-piece kit includes a plastic clock with movable hands for hands-on practice, a write-and-wipe clock, 24 double-sided analog/digital puzzle cards, 12 double-sided activity cards, and 3 time dice with an activity guide. Children learn to identify hour and minute hands, distinguish between analog and digital formats, and tell time to the hour and half hour. The set supports multiple learning methods including time matching, writing practice, and problem-solving while developing fine motor skills. Suitable for classroom or home use, the materials are designed for repeated practice with dry-erase surfaces. The comprehensive approach covers fundamental time concepts through matching exercises, writing practice, and game-based learning with dice activities.
Things to Keep in MindA frequent and significant concern is the clock's design, specifically that the hour hand does not move independently; instead, it requires the minute hand to be rotated through full circles to adjust the hour, which many users found frustrating and counterproductive for teaching. Other common complaints include the presence of minute numbers directly on the clock face which some felt hindered the learning process, and occasional reports of the clock hands not aligning accurately. Some users also noted issues with component durability or the product's condition upon arrival, and a lack of markers for 'write-and-wipe' activities. Why You'll Like ItThe set is widely regarded as an effective and engaging visual tool for teaching children how to tell time, with many users appreciating its overall value. Parents often highlight the benefit of included supplementary materials like puzzles, practice cards, and foam dice, which are noted for extending and reinforcing learning.
