Student Learning Clock Time Teacher Gear Clock 4 Inch 12/24 Hour

Ok it is small but that is great for a two year olds dexterity (he is 2 years and 2 months old). I like that it has a set hour hand that stays in sync when you move the minute hand. Has standard 12 hours along with 24 hour marks and 60 minute notations. I am working to teach a two year old that is above your average kid so needed this to be detailed. The boy reads and can add subtract and do some multiplication. He can sound out and tell you complex words such as dictionary well you spell it. So teaching him time concepts seems to be a logical next step. He was so excited when he got it and a workbook that we also purchased. This was exactly what I was looking for and it is working out well. It may not be for everyone, some kids could easily snap the hands, but if you have a child no matter what age that is showing an interest in telling time then this is a great learning tool.

My 8 year old son has really struggled to learn how to tell time because of his dyslexia. This little clock is great! The hour hand and the minute hand are different colors, so that is incredibly helpful - remembering which hand is which has been a giant struggle for him. “The big hand and the short hand” has been very difficult, but talking about it in terms of color makes it easier for him. Hopefully in the future that will translate to another clock.I also really like how the hour hand is locked in to place depending on what the minute hand is doing. So no matter how he arranges the hands, it is a real time.I also really like how small it is because I can slip it in my purse and we can do bite-size lessons anytime.Some reviewers have complained that it is cheap plastic, but it’s a cheap price! And mine has been through a lot of abuse and keeps on ticking, so to speak.

This simple clock has been a huge help in teaching my five year old girls how to tell time. We've practiced a few minutes every day for two weeks, and they've got it figured out. I also love that it's durable enough the allow them to manipulate the clock hands while learning without a fear of breaking it.My only two negatives about it is first, it's a little small for my personal preference. It's perfect for their hands and learning one on one, but as a former classroom teacher, I can see where it would be challenging to use if teaching in a large group. Second, it has the numbers on the clock for military time. It's not bad, but I had to do a few redirects the first few lessons on which "color"/set of numbers to look at, but really it only took a few times for them to get it.Overall, I love it!

This is nothing special. It's small cheap plastic, but for the price, it gets the job done. I do like the fact that the minute and hour hands are different colors, and there is a little kickstand on the back to hold the clock upright. I'm using it to teach 2 of my grandbabies how to tell time. I would not leave it with the youngest unattended as he would destroy it in a heartbeat. It's only about 4" tall, but even the minute markers are clear and easy to read.

I have two young homeschoolers -- a five and seven year old. We got our first clock as part of out first homeschooling kit and it has lasted us several years. Now they both need clocks, so we ordered a new pair (so we still have a backup just in case). These are available in other homeschool resource sites for twice the price -- not counting shipping, so I jumped at the chance to buy these. Not only are they they same size, and function exactly the same, but they also include an extra set of numbers for teaching military time. We are super-impressed with these and the kids use them all the time to learn analog clocks. I think they can tell time better than I can now.These are strong, durable, and about the size of your hand, so they fit easily into backpacks, supply bags, or the storage clipboards that I use. AMAZING quality for the value.

Nice & brightly colored, but I expected it to be bigger...I guess I should have read the description better...only about 4 inches wide & 5 inches long...hope my grandson likes it...

I love this... way too many kids these days can only read a digital clock. My other half and I wanted to make sure that the almost nine year old knows how to read an analog clock because we feel that is extremely important plus we just love time pieces in general. This does the trick and is easy to use! If you're in the market for something along these lines... buy this, it's totally worth the dough.

Teaching my daughter time and this works perfect. It’s actually nice that the hour hand moves only when you move the minute hand. That allowed me to show her how they relate to one another. She couldn’t quite get on paper why 7:55 wasn’t 8:55 when it looked like the hour hand was on the 8. I felt like I was beating my head against the wall explaining it every way possible but to no avail. This let me show her how the hour hand gets closer and closer but not quite there yet. And it allowed me to just move the minute hand and tell her to watch what the hour hand does. I’m very pleased with this clock. It gets the job done! (One negative is that there is no second hand but I really wouldn’t expect that on this kind of clock. I suspect it would be a bit too confusing if they tried. Got a wall clock and hope that works to show her since we are working on rounding to the nearest minute). Overall, I’d recommend this clock for teaching time to a kid!
