Early Learning Educational Teaching Clock with Moveable Hands and Magnetic Back. Helps Children Learn to tell the Time, for Classrooms and Home Learning

For some reason, schools don't seem to spend much time (pun intended) teaching the kids how to read clocks. They do it a little, by slipping it into maths lessons in years 2 and 3, but classrooms are starting to lose those analog clocks above the doors, or on the front of the school. Parents are moving to smartwatches, and there's fewer carriage clocks on mantlepieces.So, when your kid gets to the train station, and they look up at the big clock, or they see big ben, they've no idea what time it is. The schools will teach up to "quarter to, quarter past" etc, but only one or two lessons beyond that, and then it's done.I found this out the hard way when my 10yo was constantly late for things, and it turned out that she had no idea how to read the clocks in the house. So, I got this. I actually thought it was mechanical (at first). I suppose I could make it mechanical with a little mechanism (might be a fun project). But it's not, it's manual.The wording on the clock makes it very easy to read the time out, and it's helped my kids to get the hang of when it goes from 'past' to 'to'.Relatively inexpensive and colourful. Can't complain. Does what it needs to.

This is a superb learning tool for kids. The clock details every piece of information you need to tell the time using bright colors and moving hands. Probably the hardest thing to grasp for children is how we talk about time, saying quarter to or quarter past for example. Its all written out on this simulation clock in easy to understand color coding.

Good quality and easy to use.Helping my 7 year old learn to tell the timeStrong magnet on back so we had stuck onto our fridge. Would be nice if it had a built in stand for table top use too - my only criticism.All in all, happy with purchase.

Bought these one each for my granddaughters to help them learn to tell the time as schools don’t seem to bother anymore they are good quality and clear to understand

This is perfect for putting on the fridge and learning my granddaughters how to tell the time. They soon picked it up. The fact that all parts are printed on is helpful to remind them if it is past or to etc. it is not a toy as such more a learning tool so if left on the fridge and hands moved to check learning great but if the 3 year terror sister gets hold of it it won’t stand a chance it’s not the most durable but again it’s not a toy it’s meant to be left in situ to aid learning the time.

I bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter. At this age I think she may find it overwhelming as it is very crowded with information. Having said that, it has everything on it so may help an older child.

Great value. Being used daily attached to the kitchen fridge by my grandson to help him learn how to tell the time. Bright, colourful and easy to use.

Very low quality
