Review on πŸ•˜ Melissa & Doug Turn & Tell Wooden Clock: Educational Toy with Reversible Time Cards by Michael Ramu

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The "60 " at the top of the clock confuses students

Overall, this clock is helpful for studying. However, my daughter was very confused by the number "60" under the number 12. For example, if you set the hands to 8:00, she reads it as "8:60". This seems to me to be a disadvantage because you don't see the number 60 anywhere on a digital watch. I pasted two zeros over the 60 and that really helped reduce the confusion. Also, I included the 0 next to the 5 as a visual aid to help my daughter remember to read the clock as "8:05" instead of "8:5". As others have said, it would help if the dial at the bottom showed numbers between 5 and 10 (ie 6, 7, 8, 9) etc, but that's not as much of a problem as "60" under 12.
