Teaching Clock, 2 Dec. 2010

As a retired pre-school teacher, I knew which sort of teaching clock I would like for my 2 year old grandson. This clock clicked a lot of boxes for me and was the best I could find. It is very sturdy, made of wood, and colourful numbers. However, I find the hands rather confusing from a child's point of view. It is quite difficult to distinguish between long and short hands. Possibly using a different coulour for each might solve the problem?

Great for many ages., 17 Mar. 2009

I purchased this toy as a gift for my nephew when he was 4. I suppose a bit young to learn telling the time, but it is great as a sorting toy - the different coloured peices are different sized circles, so only fit in to certain spots on the board a bit like a jigsaw. It is very sturdy and very durable. An educational toy that will last and last (as long as the peices don't gt lost) - my nephew is now 6 but still uses it as does his 4yr old sister and my 2yr old loves to play with it when we visit.

Learning value on many levels, 23 July 2011

I got this for our son (who is now 3) over a year ago. He loved it when it first arrived, putting the numbers in the holes, now he's learning his numbers, he's beginning to sort them out by himself, and can get to 5 or 6 without help. He's also used the numbers to build a caterpillar on the bed! This has developed into a bedtime toy, great for wind-down time before bed, and he will often spend a long time playing with it. I can see it will be in use for a long time, as he learns more of his numbers, and then to start to tell the time.This is certainly good value for money in my opinion.
