Time Teaching Elementary School Watch: A Fun Way to Learn Timekeeping

Help your child master the art of telling time with the Time Teaching Elementary School Watch. This clever and colorful timepiece makes learning to read an analog clock both fun and intuitive for young learners.

Why Teach Analog Time?

In our digital age, you might wonder why kids need to learn analog time. The answer is simple: understanding traditional clock faces helps children grasp essential math concepts like counting, fractions, and the passage of time. This watch makes that learning process engaging and enjoyable.

Intuitive Design for Easy Learning

Lauren Vantuykom’s ingenious design uses color-coded sections to help children quickly identify the current hour, even when the hour hand falls between numbers. The minute markers are clearly labeled in 5-minute increments, making it easy for kids to read the exact time. A star-shaped second hand introduces the concept of clockwise motion.

Durable and Kid-Friendly Construction

This watch is built to withstand the active lifestyle of a child:

• Shock-resistant design
• Water-resistant (though not suitable for swimming)
• Japanese quartz movement for accuracy
• Hypoallergenic silicone band (lead-free and BPA-free)
• Fun strap designs featuring butterflies, sharks, or dinosaurs

How to Use

1. Explain the color-coded hour sections to your child
2. Practice reading the hour hand position
3. Move on to identifying minutes using the clearly marked increments
4. Use the second hand to discuss the concept of clockwise motion
5. Encourage your child to wear the watch daily for consistent practice
