Our Review

The Melissa & Doug Turn & Tell Wooden Clock is an outstanding educational tool designed specifically for young learners. With its sturdy build and engaging features, it offers a hands-on approach to learning how to tell time, making it an excellent choice for children aged 5 to 7 years. The clock's gentle click action as the hands move adds an interactive touch, allowing kids to visibly track the passing minutes, which is crucial for their understanding.

This clock not only serves as a time-telling device but also enhances fine motor skills and counting abilities. The large, clear numbers and colour-coded segments help in visualising concepts like “quarter past” and “half past,” making complex ideas accessible for young minds. Additionally, the inclusion of double-sided time cards means children can practice and reinforce their learning in a fun and engaging way.

Ideal for parents looking to support their child's educational journey, the Melissa & Doug Turn & Tell Wooden Clock stands out in providing both quality and excitement. Its durable design ensures it can withstand the rigours of regular play, making it a long-lasting addition to any child's learning toolkit. We highly recommend it for those wishing to foster essential time-telling skills.

Product Details

The Melissa & Doug Turn & Tell Wooden Clock is ideal for children aged 5 to 7 who are learning to tell time. It features a detailed clock face with large, clear numbers and a segmented colour disk to depict minutes such as “quarter past” and “half past”. The clock hands rotate gently with clicks to indicate the passage of time, and 13 double-sided time cards are included to support learning. Kids can practice by placing a card in the holder at the top of the clock and moving the hands to match the time displayed. Once they think they’re correct, they can slide open the ‘digital clock’ window to check their answer. When finished, the cards can be stored neatly in the back of the clock.
