This year has been a whirl wind trying to ensure we’re doing everything we can at home to help Finlee with his education (first year prep), so when I found out about the Easyread Time Teacher Kids Clock and Easyread Time Teachers Kids Watches I was sold.
Easyread Time Teacher Kids Clock and Easyread Time Teacher Kids Watch
Have you ever googled how to teach your kids to tell time? I mean seriously there are 2,000,00000000000 hits and when you start looking through everything I feel completely overwhelmed. There are charts, activity sheets, stickers, craft activities etc and though I love a good art and crafts session with glitter flying everywhere, I would much prefer to keeping the task to 3 simple steps to teach kids to tell time.
3 Simple Steps to Teach Kids to Tell Time
As I said earlier, all it’s going to take is 3 simple steps to teach kids to tell time, so here we go.
STEP 1: Read the numeral that the minute (long) hand is pointing to
STEP 2: Say “past” if the minute hand is on the green/blue OR “to” if it is located on the pink/red section (colour depends on style of watch purchased)
STEP 3: Read the numeral on the hour (short) hand is pointing to
For example: 15 past 2 (as seen on the image of the purple watch)
Continue to repeat until your child can tell the time without you pointing.
I also love how the clock/watches do NOT make that horrible tick… tick… tick… sound, which means kids can learn without being distracted. To get your kids learning to tell time, but also for the best Australian online educations kids store head to Finlee and Me or to purchase directly head to Easyread Time Teacher Kids Clock or Easyread Time Teacher Kids Watch.
