One thing we are going to be working on over the holiday break, is teaching my granddaughter how to tell time! She is in kindergarten now, and she is a very smart little girl, so I know this isn't going to be overly difficult for her, yet I do still want it to be fun. What better way to do both (teach and have it be fun) than with a great learning toy, which is the specialty over at Learning Resources where you can find so many items that are helpful and enjoyable to the kids, such as Tock, the Learning Clock (which comes in pink and blue).

Tock is awesome because he is cute enough to be a friend. It will be a delight for kids to put this next to their bedside and wake up to the lights the little ears shine, when it's time for little ones to rise and shine. They'll also enjoy the quiz mode and the music mode included with the game (push a button to access either, you can see the buttons on the bottom-left). I love that the minute hand and the hour hand are different colors. I think that will make it easier than just teaching 'shorter/longer' hands to the kids. Really clear visuals are always such good helpers when it comes to learning. I think it's important to teach kids how to tell time in the traditional way. So many things are digital now, that a lot of kids aren't able to actually tell the time on a traditional clock. I know that for fact, because I see it every school day when kids ask me what time it is, because they can't read my clock that's on the wall. We don't want our grandbaby in the same boat, so she's learning to tell time early on, and what a great way to do it. I can't say enough great things about this clock, or about Learning Resources.

Wake up! It’s time to learn! Turn telling time into a music-filled dance party with Tock the Learning Clock from Learning Resources. This adorable robot clock comes with analog hour and minute hands, as well as a digital display that functions as a real clock. Tock supports two time-teaching modes: in Musical Fun Mode, Tock rewards kids for correctly setting the hour and minute hands by playing snippets of fun, dance-ready tunes. In Question Mode, Tock asks kids to match the analog hands to the time shown on the clock’s digital display, turning every passing minute into a potential quiz opportunity. In addition to teaching time skills, Tock the Learning Clock also helps kids get a good night’s rest. Tock comes with a night light function, as well as an “Ok to Wake” light that changes color when it’s ok to get out of bed and have a morning dance party.
- Friendly robot introduces kids to analog and digital clock skills
- Two learning modes: Musical Fun Mode rewards right answers with a dance, while Question Mode challenges kids to match the hands to the digital display
- Analog hands encourage hands-on learning, while digital time display functions as a working clock
- "OK to Wake" light lets kids know when it's ok to get out of bed and boogie

ReplyDeleteAlissa, I got your comment on the other post that the comments and giveaway weren't working for this... that explains why no one entered for so long!!! It was weird, the sidebar was under the post...no idea how it glitched. I think it's fixed now. :) Thank you!
