Melissa & Doug Shape Sorting Clock

Product Information

Activities printed right on the box encourage interactive play, helping children begin to master early-learning concepts as they gain familiarity with the form of a clock and concepts of time. Please note: a signature is required for most deliveries so please choose an address where someone is in. Say goodbye to the unpredictable weather and hello to a cosy and efficient way to keep your clothes in top condition.

The detailed clock face has large red numbers to match the hour hand, small blue numbers to match the minute hand, and a segmented color disk to help kids visualize quarter past and half past. This preschool friendly clock features colour coded minute and hour hands that spin around with a simple push .Also included are 13 double-sided time cards for practice: Place one in the holder at the top of the clock, then match the numeric or analogue time shown by moving the clock hands to their proper position. We do our best to securely package items, but if any issues do arise please get in touch and we'll replace/refund. Let your child catch up with the everyday world by introducing them to new learning content every day. ADVANCED: Challenge the child to approximate a real clock more precisely by positioning the hour hand partway between two numbers. This is why analog clocks are so important for understanding the concept of time, something that educators recommend introducing to children around 5 years old.

Gift Pairing Idea: Pair this shape sorting clock with this classic style analog Timex watch for kids to make a complete time-telling gift set. Place the colourful, numbered shape pieces in their proper places on the face of the clock, and move the hour and minute hands to make learning to tell time fun! Children can match the colours, sort the shapes, and solve the puzzle as they manipulate the colour blocks and turn the hands, building cognitive and motor skills and laying the groundwork for learning to tell time. With our wide range of tents and accessories, you can embrace the cold, crisp winter air as you explore frozen landscapes and winter wonderlands.

Repeat the activity with the analog side, or increase the challenge even more by mixing the formats together.
