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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Doesn't work well with exercise watches

I usually like Melissa and Doug products but they are very inconvenient to use. The digital display is slightly offset from the hour hands so it doesn't line up properly in the window. Also, the pull tab to open and close the lid over the display doesn't work at all; I have to pull it from the front and also press the tab on the back to open and close it and it sticks really well. Flashcards are a good idea, but the slot on the back for them is too small so they keep falling out. Despite all that, my 5 year old daughter seems to love it and is looking forward to learning to tell the time, so I think it does the bare minimum of what I was looking for, but my expectations were much higher. I would definitely not buy it again as a gift for someone else.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
