Mastering hours, minutes, and daily routines — step by step through play
Understanding time is abstract and difficult — especially for children. You can’t see it, hear it, or touch it. But with this hands-on learning puzzle, kids begin to grasp hours, minutes, and daily rhythms in a playful, accessible way.
Interactive wooden clock with movable hands and a removable dial
Number tiles to display digital time
30 tasks of varying difficulty:
— “Match the time”
— “Set the hands correctly”
— “Build the time on your own”
Safe materials, clear printing
Size: 32 × 23 cm
Explain the parts of the clock:
👉 The dial has numbers 1–12 and 60 small tick marks
👉 The short hand shows the hour — it makes one full turn in 12 hours
👉 The long hand shows the minutes — it moves faster, one full turn per hour
👉 When the minute hand points at 6, that’s half past the hour
Use the task cards to let the child:
— Set the hands to match examples (e.g., 7:30)
— Match analog and digital time
— Talk about events that happen at certain hours (e.g., 8:00 breakfast, 22:00 bedtime)
