Frequently Asked Questions
The Melissa & Doug Wooden Turn & Tell Clock is recommended for children aged 3 years and up. Younger children will begin to explore the clock face and number recognition, while children from age 4-5 will start developing genuine time-telling skills with the movable hands and self-checking feature.
The back panel of the clock displays the correct digital or written time corresponding to the position of the hands on the front face.

The Melissa & Doug Turn & Tell Clock introduces children to analogue clock reading - identifying hours, understanding the difference between the hour and minute hands, and beginning to read times to the hour and half hour. These are foundational time-telling skills that children develop throughout the early primary school years.
