BRIGHT, Engaging, Double-Sided Learning
Tick-tock, time to learn the clock! With Tot Talk’s Telling Time Placemat, kids turn everyday routines into playful learning as they explore how analog clocks work and build confidence reading time all on their own.
Front Side
Features a bright, kid-friendly explanation of how to read an analog clock. Children learn the roles of the hour and minute hands, how numbers represent time, and how to understand basic time-telling concepts such as “half past,” “quarter to,” and “o’clock.” Visual examples make tricky concepts simple and intuitive for early learners.
Back Side
Offers hands-on clock-reading practice. Kids can read times that parents or older siblings draw or write in, erase, and try again for repeated confidence-building learning. The back also includes general information about clocks, the United States time zones, and Daylight Saving Time — helping children understand how time works in everyday life.
Washable and dry-erase marker friendly, making it perfect for repeated practice at home or in the classroom.
