Learning to read the clock is so much more fun with the right toy

I love well made educational toys like this wooden clock that has been carefully crafted in a small Polish village near the Carpathian Mountains. Like all best things Bajo wooden toys started with a father wanting to make good quality toys that were safe to use for his little girl. Today Bajo wooden toys sell all over the world but they have remained true to their roots for the level of quality of manufacture and the materials used. Made of locally grown apple wood, cherry wood, alder, maple, beech, birch or walnut these beautifully made toys are finished with child-safe, non-toxic dyes and coatings. 

The wooden learning clock is a great toy to teach your kid to read the clock and the basic principles of counting. Each number of the clock is a ball that can be spun to reveal the time in different ways, from 1 to 12, 13 to 24, with Roman numbers and in fractions. The clock is a learning tool and doesn’t have internal clockwork, but the arms of the clock are moved manually. The clock is equally at home standing on a desk or hanging on the wall.

    This is such a timely toy!

    My 4 yr old has been bugging me for a watch, and I have been stalling her that she will have to wait till she is older because she doesn’t know how to tell the time yet- which is true.

    I recall I personally only knew how to read the clock when I was 8 or 9, from school.

    Thanks for sharing!
