Are your kids growing up not knowing how to tell time properly without the use of digital numbers? Do you them to start learning how to tell time at an early age? In addition to practicing them yourself, you can give them a clock that serves as an added encouragement for them to practice on their own – a clock that talks and teaches how to tell time.

Many alarm clocks are available in this kind. In the market today, one of the most notable talking alarm clocks is Hammacher’s Talking Teaching Alarm Clock which won the Product of the Year Award from Creative Child Magazine. This is a device that promises to shape your little ones in properly telling the current time.

Talking Teaching Alarm Clock displays a random analog time on a high-contrast LCD. In a clear female voice, it asks “What time is it?” Children can give their answer and check if it is correct by pressing the button that prompts the clock to tell the correct time. The digital equivalent of the time is also displayed.

There are five levels of difficulty preprogrammed in the alarm clock. It begins with round hours only and as it progresses, the questions venture into more difficult to-learn times. To really test your kids, you can also manually enter time questions. By doing so, you get to customize the lessons.

In addition to the clock’s talking feature, its face can also be set to turn green at a specific time in the morning. This serves as a signal indicating that it’s already time to get out of bed. It also comes with a 10-minute snooze function and a night light. For it to operate, two AAA batteries can be used or it can be plugged into AC.

Talking Teaching Alarm Clock by Hammacher retails at $49.95.
