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

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"…

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…

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…

Nice learning tool, love the size and the fact that it comes with little cards to help teach your child and practice guides you can do for beginner or intermediate level. The red color on the back is nice and bright and has a clear finish which is nice, unfortunately the front of the watch doesn't have that clear coat that makes it look unfinished and doesn't have a splash guard or anything. happens to children. Also, the paint on the front looks dull and faded, I think this is because it…

The whole point of this watch is to teach kids how to read analog watches, but apparently the people who created them need a lesson themselves. The time is misaligned, the cards are showing the time incorrectly and when the hands are moving they are not showing the correct time. For example, if you look at the 2:50 time chart, it shows the blue (minute hand) at 10, 50 minutes, but the red (hour hand) at 2. Anyone who has ever used an analog clock knows the be ready, more precisely how 1:50 than

Very good tutorial. It has some flaws, but as a first step to learning how to tell the time from an analog clock, it's very good. do, and the "digital" clock confirms the answer Cons: - the hour (red) and minute (blue) hands are too close together, the difference should be bigger - the hour hand is usually not "at the top " of the hour number if it's not exactly the time (e.g. if it's 6:30 the hour hand isn't directly at 6 but is halfway between 6 and 7), and a "digital" The clock (note: not…
