## Description

Product Description Our popular preschool-friendly clock gets a cool update! A larger face, exposed natural wood, and pops of vibrant color on match-able chunky pieces make for a fresh modern look . . . but the classic play value and top-quality construction remains the same. Kids love the color-coded minute and hour hands that spin around with a simple push. (No matter where they point, it's always time for learning and fun!) Children can match the colors, sort the shapes, and solve the puzzle as they manipulate the color blocks and turn the hands, building cognitive and motor skills and laying the groundwork for learning to tell time. Extension activities printed right on the box encourage parent-and-child play, helping children begin to master early-learning concepts as they gain familiarity with the form of a clock and concepts of time. From the Manufacturer This preschool-friendly clock features color-coded minute and hour hands that spin around with a simple push . . . but no matter where they point, it’s always time for learning and fun!

Review: Very durable and cute educational toy - I bought this clock in 2013, when my son was 1.5 years (now he is 4). The clock has survived the pass of time incredibly well, as most of my other Melissa & Doug toys I own (like for example Melissa & Doug Wooden Bear Family Dress-Up Puzzle , which we love). The clock is made of quality wood that it is solid and durable, with a very good finishing in both the cut and the paint. The shapes for the numbers are all unique, and it is not possible to misplace them. The Hour/Minute dials can move around so you can ask your child the time. Once you remove the shapes, the "slot" has the same color and the number written on it, so it is very easy to recognize where to put it. This is ok for small kids, but I think it takes away the challenge from older ones. Also, this clock does not really stand upright; it mostly lays in the ground with at a 15 degree angle. I was hoping to put the clock standing when not in use, but if I do this, the shapes are in great danger to fall anytime it gets shaken. It would have been nice to have some magnetos inside the wooden pieces and in the body of the clock, so the pieces would "stick", but unfortunately this clock does not have them. Even with this one or two flaws, I find this is an amazing educational toy that my son enjoyed mostly from is 2 to 3 years old (after which he slowly abandon it). And after all he played with it, I cannot even find an scratch! Bonus detail: did you realize that 4=square, 5=pentagon, 6=hexagon and 8=octagon? The designers did have the good sense to match these common shapes with the number showing their number of sizes!
Review: Educational Clock - This clock is amazing! It is very educational and it is ideal for my 4 year old granddaughter to learn how to tell time. I highly recommend it. It has the hand for the minutes also.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I buy one of the shapes separately? We lost one.**
A: Hi......Unfortunately those are cut to order and we do not have any extra pieces. Sorry about that.

**Q: Would this clock be suitable for a 6 year old, or is it for younger children?**
A: The "toy" part (putting the shapes in the holes, number matching) is probably meant for a younger child who is just learning numbers and shapes.  But if you're looking for a bright, colorful toy to teach a 6 year old how to tell time on a non-digital clock I think this could be good.  Next to the standard numbers on the clock are the actual correlating minutes (under the 1 is a small 5, under the 6 is a small 30, etc).  Overall I'd probably look elsewhere for a 6 year old toy though.

**Q: If positioned so that the face is facing horizonally, will the hands remain where placed, or will they tend to fall down to 6:30?**
A: Hands have stayed where placed.

**Q: Do the hands make noise when you move them?**
A: No, the hands do not make noise when moved. (Although that would be a great feature for it to have...a ticking sound to indicate the seconds.)
