HELPFUL HINTS:
- Engage your child's curiosity and anticipation by making the unboxing of the Time Master Clock a shared event.
- Start by teaching them to read the hour, then gradually progress to minutes and seconds as their understanding grows.
- Cheer for every correct time they tell, this will fuel their interest and encourage them to learn more.
- Make learning time a part of their daily routine. Incorporate it into activities like mealtime, bedtime, or playtime.
ASSEMBLY STEPS:
Follow these steps to ensure your Time Master Clock is set up properly:
- Place the Time Master Clock face down on a soft surface to protect the clock face.
- Find the connector piece with the straighter angle and firmly push it into the top back section as indicated in image (2).
- Repeat the process with the other connector piece on the opposite top section as shown in image (3).
- With the Time Master Clock upright, connect the piece with the opposing angle into the base.
- Repeat step 4 with the final connector piece.
- Voila! Your Time Master Clock is now stable and ready to make every moment a learning opportunity!
TURNING 'THE PLAYBOOK FOR PLAY' INTO ACTION:
- Unbox the Time Master Clock with a sense of ceremony. Introduce it as a fun way to learn how to tell time.
- Let your child explore the clock hands and numbers. Start with simple explanations and gradually add details.
- Make the learning process a joyful journey. Celebrate their victories, encourage their attempts, and remind them that practice makes perfect.
- After they've learned to tell time, introduce concepts like morning, afternoon, and night. This will help them understand the concept of time in a broader context.
CREATIVE CUSTOMISATIONS:
Allow your child to personalise their Time Master Clock with non-permanent markers. They could highlight their favourite time of the day or decorate the clock face. Please remember that customised items can't be returned.
EDUCATIONAL SPRINKLES:
Learning to read a clock isn't just about telling time - it's about understanding the concept of time. As your child navigates the hours, minutes, and seconds, they are developing their cognitive skills, learning the importance of time management, and gaining a sense of responsibility.
SAYING GOODBYE:
When it's time to say goodbye to your Time Master Clock, we urge you to do so sustainably. The clock is made from recyclable birch plywood. Consider recycling, composting, or donating it to a school or community centre. Let's ensure that its journey continues in a sustainable and responsible manner.
