This review is from : Talking Clever Clock
2/3 teacher . I originally bought this clock for my classroom. It is a very popular item at choice time. The lady tells the time and the children need to put the correct time on the analog clock by manipulating the color coded hour and minute hands. Press the "A" button and the correct answer is shown in the display in both analog and digital. I brought the clock home to replace the batteries and my 6 year old son loved it. I am buying him one for Christmas. He has learned the hour vs. minute hand. He is moving the hands in the shortest way to get to the right time. We also play a game with the stopwatch where he times me doing things like singing a song. Great learning tool! Very hands on for kids. Time is such an abstract concept. Kids need lots of daily practice and repetition and this clock is great for these things!
Talking Clever Clock Reviews
neat concept. . It is expensive compare to other teaching clock but fun my only issue is that it is very hard to unscrew it to put batteries in. You need a eyeglass screwdriver (yes no kidding) a very thin and very small screw driver for it. Other than that it is great.

Talking Clever Clock Opinions
Do not buy this toy - it doesn't last long. . We bought this toy for our daughter for Christmas but since she had a bunch of other toys, we held off giving it to her until a month later. The toy worked for 1 week and then only the red on/off light would stay lit up but it wouldn't talk or do any of the functions. We made sure the batteries were good too so it wasn't an issue with them. Way too expensive to be spending money on a toy that doesn't last. Go with the lower cost options or use colorful workbooks and save yourself the hassle.
"Talking Clever Clock" an excellent preschool learning toy . I just gave this "learning toy" to my 5 year old grand-daughter as a Christmas gift and it was a "hit". She loved it upon opening it and my daughter who is a teacher was thrilled. My grand-daughter now keeps it in her bedroom and is using it to help her learn about time, etc. while having fun. I think my grand-daughter will have learned how a clock works in time for my purchase of a "real" alarm clock for her birthday in a few weeks.

Cons Review
Not worth the money . My son received this you when he turned 5 and he is almost 7 and has only used it to hear the woman's voice announce the time. It is difficult to figure out how it works even after reading and re-reading the directions. The buttons are not clearly labeled and the volume button does little to change the sound level. It not even mildly entertaining.
buy a better clock . the first one arrived broken with no instructions. the replacement (easy process) worked.... as well as it was meant to. the time can only be manipulated in increments of 5 (3:00, 3:05, 3:10 and so on).
that confused the kid. it also does not always repeat the correct time that the clock hands are placed on. i could go on, but why bother. it does not tell time. enough said.
teaching time . This is an excellent teaching tool. I have been using this at home with my own children. They also use it when they play school. It has a variety of teaching levels(from on the hour to time story problems) so one child can get at least three years of learning out of this clock.
