It's been half a year since we bought this toy and I felt compelled to add a glowing review as we got so much value from it. This toy reminds me of the quality of toys that were made when I was young. It's gotten a good amount of play from my 5 and 3 year old over many months, and I know that it will still be around for my 1 year old to play with when he's old enough.As parents who appreciate wooden toys which our children can learn from while playing, it was a great find. Fits right into our toy room and the solid wood looks even better than the photos. All of the pieces fit together well, and even the little "screw" and clock hands are easy for our kiddos to place in and take out of the clock.It arrived quickly and had minimal plastic packaging, which our family really appreciates. The box it came in was nice and everything was secured. It came with a card that offers tips on how to play with it and teach different maths skills. All in all high quality and super happy about our purchase.

Where was this when I was learning how to tell time?! I remember it being such a confusing concept. But this product breaks it down in a way that is so fun, kids won’t even realize they are learning. Bravo!!!

This Montessori clock is great. I love the fact that you can take out the numbers and change from 30 mins 15 mins and 10 mins. My kid is a very visual learner. this is great for him to see the breakdown.

Digital clocks show what time it is, but an analog clock shows what time IS. You can demonstrate past time, present time, and future time, all on one clock face.This clock puzzle is a beauty. It's made from smooth wooden pieces with numbers and words all in the same muted brown. This is a quiet-time puzzle. Don't expect to teach the entire concept of a clock in one sitting, but just handling the puzzle pieces provides the introduction kids need to begin to understand the abstract idea of time.The manufacturer, Tomaze Toys, suggests this puzzle is for kids age 4+ because there are small pieces.But it would be useful for any elementary school age, because it includes learning about fractions of an hour.The instructions give ideas of how to present a clock to a child. You can start with giving them just the round frame, the 60 minutes circle, the 12 hour numbers, and the hands with peg. Ask them to put it together, using a real clock in the room for guidance. Each of the 12 hour numbers has the numeral on one side and the printed word for the number on the other.Once the concept of 60 minutes in every hour is understood, the fractions of an hour can be introduced. There are 11 fraction pieces: 1 thirty minute piece, 2 fifteens, 4 tens, and 4 five-minute pieces. Kids can use the minutes blocks (30, 15, 10 and 5) to construct an hour so many different ways!I have the highest praise for this toy. I wish we were able to add a rare sixth star to our rating system, for those special toys that are innovative, fun to use, and nicely presented.

Teaching abstract concepts like time can be quite a challenge, both for parents/educators and kids. This educational toy is a great tool for teaching and learning about time.You can tell that an educator designed it, as it's well-crafted to provide an engaging learning experience. The choice of materials and the way they've broken down time into hours, minutes, and fractions is well thought out and relevant for different ages.One thing that really impressed me is how durable this toy is. Unlike many disposable toys, it feels like it will last and even be passed down through generations in my family. It feels more than just a simple toy—it's something enduring.Overall, this clock is a meaningful investment in learning and development.I'm really happy with this purchase and excited to see what else this company comes up with.

My 5 year old son loves it and already learned about how to tell the time. He also learned about fractions and understood the concept. I purposely ask him what time it is and he gets the right answer each time. It is pretty impressive how a toy could make learning so easy fun! totally recommend it.It was also delivered so quickly without any problems and it is a nice wood material. Nicely designed.

I love wooden tactile toys like this to help bring learning and physicality into the same toy. I especially loved that on some parts there were numerals (1, 2, 3, etc) and spelled-out numbers (One, Two, Three) on the back.I gave this to a three-year-old, so this may be a bit too early to introduce time to them, but they'll slowly and surely will learn through play.I think the packaging could have been a bit better but it's not a big deal. When the package arrived most of the numbers were loose in the box while some parts were secured by a piece of shrik-wrap plastic. If the shrink wrap was a little larger, this wouldn't be an issue.When I bought this, it was near $45 which I felt was very expensive for wooden blocks, so I'm taking off a star to an otherwise flawless product.Overall, great physical learning tool but it's a tad expensive for what you get.

This product is the best! So adorable and best yet teaches kids to develop skills that aren’t taught in the modern day classrooms. Playtime with purposeful learning growth is the founder niche which can be shown through this product. I’m excited to purchase other products from this company!
