ABSTRACT:
A teaching device to teach children time telling skills. The device comprises of a base, a rotatable peripheral ring with selector window, a top surface that represents the face of a clock, and a minute hand whose point is linked to the rotatable peripheral ring at the selector window and hour hand that individually rotate about a common pivot. The device uses a color and script coding ring and a separate color matching system for two distinct time telling functions as follows: (1) the minute color and script coding method enables the child to manipulate the minute and hour hands to match colors and script that will establish a realistic minute-hour hand relationship for any given time, and (2) the hour color matching system enables the child to decide whether minutes shown in the selector window are after the previous hour or before the succeeding hour. In addition the coding allows the child to choose the actual hour in question. The device is designed to stimulate the thinking of children with the use of decorative colors, recognizable script, and simple color matching while they are learning a relatively complicated subject.
