Teaching Clock with Silent Movement | Educational Clock that Makes Kids Learning Time Faster and Fun. Quiet Child Wall Clock Perfect for Parents and Teachers, Kids Bedroom or Classroom.
- YOUR KIDS LEARN THE TIME with our specially designed analog kids wall clock that lets them see what time it is using colored numbers. With each quarter broken down into a specific color, it’s easier than ever for your kids to remember and retain where each minute is. Telling time on our timepiece is easy and fun and teaching children is a breeze thanks to helpful references like “o’clock,” “quarter past,” “half past,” and “quarter to.”
- YOUR CHILD GETS ALL THE INFORMATION THEY NEED on our educational clock. For kids to learn time efficiently our design had to be easy to understand, labeling each quarter with a different color would provide an easy way for your child or toddler to quickly create an association between the numbers and where they are. Each hand is also labeled in order to avoid any possible confusion, every minute is represented on the clock, meaning your child will always be able to see the exact time.
- SIMPLY DESIGNED FOR EASY TEACHING. At Owlconic we designed the clock to help when we were teaching our own child to learn how to read time. She was unable to learn the time using any other time clocks for kids, so we knew we had to create one that was simpler while still being educational. Our child was able to learn to read time thanks to this design, and we wanted to share it with other parents whose kids were learning time.
- WE EVEN MADE IT SAFE & EASY TO CARE FOR! With easy to find AA batteries being the power source, it’s easy to keep this educational clock in working order. Our children’s clock is also easy to clean, with a safe clear acrylic face that allows you to quickly and efficiently wipe off any gathered dust. Made from good quality non-toxic plastic, with lead free paint. A lightweight clock that can be placed anywhere, from a classroom’s wall to just above a kid’s nightstand in their room.
- AN ASSET TO ANY CLASSROOM OR BEDROOM. Our clock makes an ideal gift for anyone in your life who works with young children, or as a gift for your own child. The color coded clock keeps them engaged and makes the process of learning time easier for kids. The quality silent sweep movement makes it a great addition for a preschool or elementary school room. Put it up on the classroom wall and our analog clock is guaranteed to make it significantly easier for all the children to understand time.
Teaching Your Kids To Tell Time Just Got Easier! Using our children’s time clock will engage your child in a fun and informative way. The engaging layout means their attention is secured, while the easy to read numbers and hands means they’ll quickly be able to get used to putting all of the numbers together. Encouraging Creative Learning! The cognitive development our clocks provide isn’t just for making sense of the numbers, it also helps kids with problem solving and critical thinking. The Psychology of Kids and Time During early development it’s laborious for kids to comprehend time and its relation to the day. They’ll try to understand why the day is laid out the way it is, with certain events like lunch, or story time taking place in a certain order. Our clock makes the transition easier, breaking down time into hours and minutes in a way that children understand helps them learn to tell the time.

In an honest, perceptive discussion of children and education by the bestselling author of Snow Falling on Cedars, Guterson answers questions about homeschooling but also reflects on broader issues, such as family life, individual fulfillment, and community.The chilly, wet air of Bainbridge Island, Washington, practically gusts out of this book, written with such descriptive flair that it effortlessly whisks readers into the life of David Guterson, a homeschooler who despises the word and who fell into the practice by accident after he and his wife suffered anxiety attacks over sending their oldest son to school. Guterson is best known for Snow Falling on Cedars, the fictional bestseller he wrote three years after this honest examination of the ultimate in school alternatives. Before he became a prizewinning author, Guterson was a high school English teacher. It is this contradiction–schooling his own children at home, while teaching his neighbors’ children in school–that Guterson tries to dissect and defend. He does so with the same fresh, poetic prose that distinguishes his fiction. Some of the characters may sound vaguely familiar. In one chapter, Guterson is forced to defend homeschooling when he moonlights with a gillnetter who believes the practice threatens democracy. Guterson’s detailed account of that night–the fisherman’s cadence of speech and body language, the misty isolation of the Pacific after dark–seems like a practice run for Snow Falling on Cedars. Still other chapters get downright erudite, with references to contemporary education books by such authors as Tracy Kidder, E.D. Hirsch Jr., and Jonathan Kozol, as well as citations of important research in the field. Guterson weaves these theories and facts into his own life to support his contention that all parents should have a wealth of choices when it comes to educating their children, and that school districts should foster and assist in these choices.
As for Guterson’s three sons, their days are described as rich, active, and simply fun, with trips to theaters, a sheep farm, a medieval fair, art galleries, science centers, and other hands-on experiences that ignite their passion for learning. Guterson claims he’s not stumping for homeschooling and, true to his word, he devotes a chapter to his lawyer father’s stance on the issue (he opposes keeping his grandsons out of school, but defends the rights of parents to do so). Still, the author makes a well-reasoned case for accepting parents as their children’s chief educators. Even if you don’t agree, you will enjoy getting to know Guterson and his clear-headed, lyrical look at life. –Jodi Mailander Farrell
