Review on 🕘 Melissa & Doug Turn & Tell Wooden Clock: Educational Toy with Reversible Time Cards by Gary Haymon

I usually like Melissa & Doug toys - strong and easy to practice, wooden construction etc but this one really left a lot to be desired. When I opened the box, I immediately noticed that the top of the balsa panel was cracked - either the plastic packaging was so tight that it ripped, or it ripped in transit. Then I noticed that the side of the watch was also damaged, the bezel was separating from the back. As my 4 year old and I played with this I noticed how difficult it was for the arrows to spin and also that the numbers didn't line up correctly and the foil on the back covering the numbers was so difficult to close that it's not even worth it. I'm sad because it must be a phenomenal toy, really well designed and a great learning tool! But the design sucks. Completely different from this brand.
