Description
Product Overview
The Coogam Wooden Teaching Clock is a thoughtfully designed educational toy that merges the timeless appeal of a classic analog clock with the interactive benefits of shape‑sorting and number‑matching puzzles. Constructed from solid, sustainably sourced wood, each piece is sanded smooth and coated with a water‑based, child‑safe paint that meets ASTM safety standards. The clock face measures 9.02 x 8.74 inches, with a depth of 1.14 inches, and weighs just 10.6 ounces, making it sturdy yet easy for small hands to manipulate. Twelve vibrant number blocks (1‑12) slide into color‑coded slots, while an additional set of twelve shape pieces—circles, squares, triangles, and more—fit into deeper recesses, encouraging both fine‑motor coordination and visual discrimination. The hour and minute hands are printed in bold, easy‑to‑read numerals and move freely, allowing children to practice setting and reading time in a tactile manner.
Usage
Designed for children aged 36 months to 3 years, this teaching clock fits naturally into a variety of learning environments. In a preschool classroom, teachers can use it during circle time to introduce the concepts of hour and minute, then transition to independent play as students match shapes and colors. At home, the clock becomes a centerpiece on a playroom shelf or a quiet‑time activity on a low table, inviting toddlers to explore time‑telling while developing hand‑eye coordination. Because the pieces are removable, the toy doubles as a portable puzzle for trips to grandparents’ houses or family gatherings, making it a versatile tool for both structured lessons and free‑form discovery. The included gift box adds a polished presentation, perfect for birthdays, holidays, or as a welcome‑home gift for a new baby.
