Children’s teaching clock – Waldorf Family

Enjoy the array of beautiful rainbow colours on the Waldorf Family children’s teaching clock with movable hands as your child learns to tell time and investigates the illustrations depicting a travel through a variety of activities, resonating with a child’s rhythm of the day!

Part of the number and maths collection, the children’s teacher clock features aligned hands pointing directly to the hours or minutes to help children tell one from the other. The minute and hour hands are also deliberately different colours to help differentiation. The numbers 1-60 are included as well to help children spot that 60 minutes are in one hour – which can also be helpful when explaining the concept of seconds.

A number of common phrases have been have written around the outer edge of the clock to tell the time. These phrases could independently be used to create a time sentence when the child starts writing. It is also worth asking children why the moon might be in the centre of the clock. As adults we know the 12 hour clock will travel twice round the numbers in one day, but this concept is worth exploring with children as they learn.

The base of the children’s teaching clock is created on 9mm FSC approved sustainable Garnicia plywood. The hands are also made of Garnicia wood and are held in place with a brass binding pin.
