Description
It's time to "block" around the clock! Two toys in one, this colorful clock combines shape sorting and learning to tell time. Place the numbered and shaped pieces in their proper place on the face of the clock, then move the hour and minute hands to make telling time fun! Measures 9" x 5".

it's OK
They seem to have fixed the inconsistency with the six-sided "5" and the five-sided "six," but the general quality of this item can be hit and miss. My friend has a set that seems OK, but the set we recieved isn't as well marked -- a couple of the numbers are stamped crookedly, our "2" and "9" are practically off the edge of the piece, some pieces have more paint than others so some pieces with more paint feel smoother and different in quality. On the other hand, some of our friend's set the pieces are not cut as straight (the octagon, for example, seems kind of squashed and the square is a little bit not square), and the face of their clock has chipped paint around the edges of the holes and blobs of paint where some of the chips were "repaired." Yes, they are handcrafted and all that but some of the sets are sloppier than others.
After attempts at being forced into their holes for a few months, some of the pieces are already wearing off paint.

Learning to tell time.
The 60 seconds for each minute are missing! Needs to have the 60 seconds marked on the clock with every 5th number (over the large hour numbers)emphasized so infantren can learn to count by 5's to learn, for example, 10:10. There is room to do this... and would make a good educational better.

Great clock: educational AND fun
One of my kids is interested in telling time, and another is interested in shapes. They both like playing with this clock.
I read a lot of reviews that complained that the 5 has six sides and the 6 has five sides. Mine must be a later model, because the 5 has five sides and the 6 has six sides. But even if they were the old way, I wouldn't have been bothered by this at all: the 2 has four sides and the 9 has four sides and the 10 has four sides and the 11 has four sides and the 12 has ten sides---so the number of sides don't correspond to the number on the shape, and they're clearly not supposed to.
