A great way to introduce the concept of time and learning how to tell it, the Turn & Tell Wooden Clock has rotatable hands that click audibly as they countdown the minutes.The clock face is incredibly detailed and is covered with big, bold red numbers that show the hours, and smaller blue ones for the minutes. It also shows the time in digital, which can be hidden from view behind a small window.This clock also has a card holder at the top, and comes with time cards that express both analogue and digital times on them. These cards are designed to challenge and test a child's time-telling skills once they have started picking it up. Features13 double-sided time cardsStorage slot at the back for cardsPromotes time telling and also countingDimensions: 9.5" x 9.5" x 3.5"Suitable for ages 4 years and over
Technical Details
- BEGINNER: With the child, count the red "hour" numbers around the outside of the clock. Then move just the hour hand around the clock face, stopping at each number to ask, "What time is it now?"
- With the child, count (by 5s) the blue "minute" numbers around the outside of the clock. Then move just the blue minute hand and ask the child to tell you what "minute" number it is pointing to.
- Use the hands together to put together simple times. At the beginning, focus on one "hour" at a time. (For instance, you could demonstrate 1:00, 1:15, 1:30, 1:45, then 2:00, 2:15, and so on.) As the child gains confidence, move both hands with every turn to increase the challenge.
- INTERMEDIATE: Ask the child to count all the minutes on the clock, 1-60. Then challenge the child to count a range of numbers that you indicate. (For instance, counting 40-45 would go "40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45.")
- Close the preview window, then place one of the time cards in the slot at the top of the clock so the digital format is showing. Ask the child to match the time shown using the clock hands. Then open the preview window to check the answer!
