Description
The numbered shapes can be arranged in a certain order, used to demonstrate basic mathematical concepts, stacked high to provide a motor challenge, and of course inserted into the appropriate cavities to finish the clock face.
The ideas of “before,” “after,” “early,” and “late” as well as phrases like “half past” and “quarter of” are specific to telling time.
The movement of the clock hands, which indicate breakfast, lunch, and sleep, can also serve as a novel approach to discuss the day’s events as they occurred in the morning, midday, and evening.
