Best Teaching Clocks of 2025

"I'm very pleased with this purchase! I've used many clocks to teach kids to tell time, and this one is great! The hands move realistically, and the variety of tools like dice and puzzles really help with learning. My son is enjoying it a lot! It would be nice to have more dice options, but I can easily modify them with a post-it note."

"The Learning Resources Time Activity Set has been a fantastic addition to our learning toolkit! It offers a hands-on approach to teaching time concepts and the colorful clock faces make learning engaging. I love the interactive nature of the set with movable hands and various activity cards for practical learning. It caters to different ages and learning styles, making it a go-to resource for reinforcing time-telling skills in a fun way!"

"I bought this clock for my daughter in 4th grade, who is learning to read a clock. Her teacher uses the same one, and she's learning so well with it! The set includes three dice that she can roll and place on the large clock, plus the puzzle pieces work really well."

“I purchased this clock to help my student tell time before starting the Abeka curriculum. I love the manual automation that moves the gears when you adjust the hands. It's large and perfect for teaching, and I’m very happy with my purchase.”

“Having learned to tell time on one of these clocks in the 1980s, I was excited to buy one for my granddaughters who are now learning. The clock works great; the gears move smoothly, and everything is big enough for little fingers. Any complaints about the hands not lining up are completely unfounded; they can be easily adjusted. It’s well-built and sturdy!”

“This clock is exactly what I needed. It arrived on time and is reminiscent of the clocks I used in the past, though it’s not made of wood. It’s lightweight and perfect for teaching time!”

“My 3rd grader struggles with time story problems, and this clock has become our best learning tool. I love that when I turn the minute hand, the hour hand moves too, which helps her understand better. It makes math problems less frustrating, and she has become more confident thanks to this visual aid.”

“I bought this clock for my kindergartener, and it has been very helpful in teaching him to tell time. The hands are durable, although I did have to fix the hour hand because it was slightly off. Now, he loves to set the time every time he sees it!”

“I’m really pleased with this clock for my granddaughter. At 3 years old, she can now tell time on a real clock, not just digital ones! It’s a great tool for learning and makes the process fun.”

"I find this clock works as expected. It's great for teaching kids how to read an analog clock, which many of them struggle with these days."

"I really love the clock, but the only downside for me is that the arms do not move independently of each other."

"I ordered this clock for my children, but I ended up returning it because it didn't have the dial in the back that they wanted. It's still pretty easy to use, though a bit smaller than I anticipated."

“I bought this to help my granddaughter learn about telling time before starting Kindergarten. The analog clock has moveable hands and shows enough detail like hours, minutes, and quarter/half hours, without being too complicated. I love that it also includes the digital format to fill in, so she can get used to that too. The quality of the materials seems good, and I'm very pleased with it.”

“This clock is great for my grandson to learn, but I wish it felt a bit sturdier. It’s mostly made of cardboard and feels a little flimsy, so I hope it could be a bit thicker or harder if that makes sense.”

"OMG! This clock was a life saver for my nephew. He picked up time telling just like that! Now, we're working on a.m., p.m., and other time concepts."

"I'm always searching for toys that are both fun and educational. My five-year-old loves this clock and can now tell time on a regular clock without help. The only thing I'd change is the 60 on the minute mark under 12; 00 would be more intuitive."

"This is a very sturdy clock! I was surprised at how heavy it is, and it holds up well to my son's rough play. The laminated flash cards are a great touch. I see this being an instant classic in our house!"

"I really appreciate that this clock is big and easy to see from across the room, especially when I’m modeling a time lesson for my students. The quality seems okay, as it's plastic, and while I wish it were a bit cheaper, it will definitely be helpful for teaching how to tell time!"

"I bought this for my 22-month-old daughter who is fascinated by watches and clocks. It's well-made, and even though she yanks on the hands, they haven't snapped! Thanks to this clock, she understands that when the big hand is on twelve, it marks the hour. I love how we can set it to match our wall clock to help her understand time passing."

"This clock is perfect for my 5-year-old learning to tell time. With this learning clock, she was telling time in no time! The size is great for little ones, making it easy for them to engage and learn."

"My 4-year-old grandson immediately picked up this colorful talking clock and played with it all afternoon. It's just the right size for him, and he loves the lullaby music and soft night light. The voice is easy to understand, and he figured out the buttons by himself. It's a great learning tool for telling time!"

"As a former teacher, I am impressed with this clock. The minute hand moves by minutes and matches the color of the numbers, while the hour hand clicks by hours and is color-coordinated as well. This design makes it very clear and obvious for children to learn."

"I got this for my 1st grader, and it's really helping her understand time beyond just 'o'clock.' The clock tells the time, plays Hickey, Dickey Dock, and has all the minutes marked on its face. The volume is manageable, and the voice isn't annoying. It's a sturdy purchase for us!"

"I bought these for a local teacher's classroom. Great quality and vibrant colors! I will definitely do this again next year to help teachers build their supplies."

"I purchased these for my son's first-grade class, and they love them!"

"I couldn't wait to use these with my students. I really liked how the clocks show the minutes. However, the flimsy clock hands started tearing and bending within 15 minutes. My students were hesitant to turn them because they bend so easily. I wouldn't recommend these for classroom use."

"I purchased this for my friend’s daughter, who is just 3 years old. Using this clock has really helped her understand how to tell time. My friend loves that it combines both analog and digital styles, making it a great teaching tool. Fantastic product!"
