Melissa & DougTurn & Tell Wooden Clock - Educational Toy With 12+ Reversible Time Cards , Red

I'm always on the lookout for toys that also help kids learn as well as being fun. My five year old loves this clock and it has really helped him to tell time. He received it a few months ago and already he can tell time on a regular clock with no help. The product has held up well and I hope it lasts long enough for my one year old to use it. The little cards that come with it can be easily lost and bent, so I've kept them together with a rubber band and put them away. My son continues to play with the clock when he plays school so he continues to get use out of it even though he can tell time.The only thing I wish was different is that it has the number 60 on the minute mark under the 12. I understand why they did this, but we never use the number 60 when we tell time. We count minutes up to 59 and then it changes to 00 at the top of the hour. I wish the makers of the clock had put 00 under the 12 rather than a 60. But my son was still able to figure it out.

Very durable and great value. It’s fun to open the slide to see if your answer was correct. What a fun way to help with learning clocks.

We still use it.

I generally really love Melissa and Doug products, but this one is lacking in that the time that displays in the little window as the hands are moved is off a bit. Meaning the numbers don't line up within the little display box unless you move the hands further than they need to go. It is off by a minute. If the hands are placed on 10:30, then the display shows 10:29. Yes, I can close the little display window, but it's frustrating that it's not aligned correctly for the price paid. Other than that, I feel this is a great tool for teaching children to tell time (another lost art due to technology). The little time cards that came with the clock are nice. I ended up creating additional time cards on small index cards. Great clock, quality lacking a bit.

Children generally learn to tell time when they start elementary school (when they're 5 or 6 years old), as this is when they begin to understand what time means and how it's measured. At that age, they already have a pretty clear understanding of how much time passes between one hour and the next. My two grandchildren are already learning to tell time, and this helps us help them learn to orient themselves in time, establish routines, and complete their homework. Recommended!

The media could not be loaded. Great quality clock. I love Melissa and Doug items and this one does not disappoint. My kids love to play with it too!

Great quality and nice colors, our daughter loves it!

I normally love Melissa & Doug toys - solid & study, wood construction, etc, but this one actually left a lot to be desired. When I opened the box I immediately noticed that the top of the balsa wood face plate was broken - either the plastic wrapping was so tight that it cracked or it broke in shipping. Then I noticed that the side of the clock is also damaged, the face plate was separating from the back.As my 4 year old and I played with it I realized how hard the hands are to turn, also that the digital numbers don't really line up right and the slide in the back to cover the digital numbers is so hard to close that it's not even worth it.I'm sad because this should be a phenomenal toy, really well thought out and a great teaching tool! But the construction is lousy. Very unlike this brand.
