Telling time has its own vocabulary, with terms such as ‘half past’ and ‘quarter of’ and concepts of ‘before,’ ‘after,’ ‘early,’ and ‘late.’
This colorful, wooden clock is a playful way to share this language with children. As kids sort the pieces, push the hands (both the minute and hour hands rotate), and explore visual cues on the clock face, caregivers can help them understand and talk through it all.
The clock can also be a unique way to share the events of the day, talking about what happened in the morning, at midday, and in the evening, as the clock hands move around the clock to show breakfast time, lunchtime, and bedtime. This is also a great way to teach fine motor skills, numbers, colors, shapes, counting, time, and more. For example, each removable wooden piece has a distinct shape and, along with the shape guide on the back of the clock, helps kids observe the differences among geometric forms. This preschool-friendly clock offers countless ways to play and learn!
