Hand2Mind Student Clock 5 years+ plastic with removable numbered hour and minute hands

The Hand2Mind student clock is designed for time-telling activities in the classroom and at home, making it ideal for children aged 5 and up. The idea behind this product is simple: a clock is just a circular number line, and once children understand this, it becomes much easier for them to tell time. The set allows little ones to learn all about time by placing a numbered line, like a ruler, directly onto the clock.

This approach offers a simple way for children to associate the activity of reading a clock with the activity of measuring using a ruler. The hour line features numbers from 1 to 12, with numbers for both analog and digital clocks. The minute line features 5-minute intervals, from 0 to 60, which helps children connect the hand position to the minute value.

To use the clock, children must build the clock face using the number lines for hours and minutes. This visual and physical representation of time helps little ones read the clock more easily, turning an abstract concept into a concrete and tactile activity. Each building step reinforces the understanding of the link between hours, minutes, and the position of the hands on the dial.

The clock is made of plastic, suitable for repeated classroom use. The set includes a plastic base, 3 detachable number lines, detachable clock hands (a red hand for hours and a blue one for minutes), and an English activity guide. The approximate size of the clock is 12 x 11 cm.
