Customer Reviews
Good product and appropriate for different ages
We purchased this toy for our 2 year old. She is too young to get the "clock" part of it, but currently she is enjoying using it as a puzzle and matching the numbers on the puzzle pieces to the numbers on the clock. This toy should grow with her. Nice colors.
Clock Toy
We are ardent M&D toy fans for our little guy who is just over 2. He likes it, reinforces the concepts of numbers, although he is too young to get the concept of time yet.
This is a good long term toy, teaches numbers, time, shapes and colors, so good value for the money
it's OK
They seem to have fixed the inconsistency with the six-sided "5" and the five-sided "six," but the general quality of this item can be hit and miss. My friend has a set that seems OK, but the set we recieved isn't as well marked -- a couple of the numbers are stamped crookedly, our "2" and "9" are practically off the edge of the piece, some pieces have more paint than others so some pieces with more paint feel smoother and different in quality. On the other hand, some of our friend's set the pieces are not cut as straight (the octagon, for example, seems kind of squashed and the square is a little bit not square), and the face of their clock has chipped paint around the edges of the holes and blobs of paint where some of the chips were "repaired." Yes, they are handcrafted and all that but some of the sets are sloppier than others.
After attempts at being forced into their holes for a few months, some of the pieces are already wearing off paint.
A learning toy that grows as your child does!
My daughter received her 1st Melissa & Doug wooden toy for Christmas and boy do we love the ones we have purchase since. Any way, this clock is made of wood. The clock has 12 brightly colored shapes for each number of the clock that your child can take out and then place back into their own place. The hands of the clock are 2 different colors - the minute hand is marked minute and is red and the hour hand is blue. Printed under the hands of the clock have the numbers so your child can find what numbers go where on the clock. Also printed are the seconds and minutes in the 5 minute pie shaped increments that are also different colors. Also included are how to tell time from Quarter Past, Half Past, Quarter til and O'clock.
I love good toys that actually grow with your child and being that it's made of wood, it should last quite nicely for generations! For teaching time, I think this is terrific! Defiantely a 10 Stars!
