Can your child tell time? At 6, Elijah is still pretty confused about how to tell time on clocks. In a world where everything is digital, using a standard clock to tell time isn’t common thing. He still needs to learn it, of course, but I’ve been lax on teaching him in favor of other things. Telly The Teaching Time Clock from Constructive Playthings ($24.99) is perfect for helping children learn the basics. The clock features a digital display as well, so children have something visual to refer to as the talking clock asks them to help tell time.
I made the mistake of opening this toy with my 2 year old while her big brother was busy. Though the clock was intended for my 6 year old, she loves talking toys so she’s very interested in it. The problem is that now they fight over it. A clock! Go figure.
Since Elijah still has more than a month before he goes back to school, I thought it was a great time to use an educational toy like this and hopefully help him develop this skill before grade one. There are two modes to the clock – Tell Time and Quiz Game. Tell Time just lets kids move the hands of the clock wherever they like and the clock tells you what time it is. In Quiz Game, Telly asks you, “Please find three o’clock,” for example and your job is to move the hands to the correct spot. Constructive Playthings has tons of learning toys like this one on their website and in their catalog (remember you can request a free catalog from them right on the website). Don’t forget you can save 15% on your order too, by linking to the site from the Constructive Moms button on my sidebar. Over there! ———->
