Why we like it at Happy Little Tadpole:
Melissa & Doug Shape Sorting Clock is a simple, wooden educational toy that makes learning to tell time fun! Children can start telling time by looking at digital clocks from as early as 3 years old. However, the concept of time is still very abstract to them. This is why analog clocks are so important for understanding the concept of time, something that educators recommend introducing to children around 5 years old. That makes this clock a great toy for a 5-year-old. Keep in mind that children all develop and understand concepts at different ages. It’s normal for a child to not master the concept of time until around 7 or 8 years old.

Gift Pairing Idea: Pair this shape sorting clock with this classic style analog Timex watch for kids to make a complete time-telling gift set.
