The Montessori Engraved Blue Pearl Clock is a hands-on educational tool designed to help children understand the concept of time measurement in an engaging and tactile way.
This clock can be used independently or with its accompanying beads. The engraved design around the clock face features five circles in each 12-hour segment, visually representing the minutes in each interval.
 
Children can explore the passage of time through sensory activities, counting the minutes in each segment. The center puzzle, a circle divided into three parts, provides a visual aid for mastering key time concepts such as a quarter-hour, half-hour, and full hour.
 
Through this interactive clock, children can investigate and answer questions like:
How many minutes are in a quarter-hour?
How many quarter-hours make up half an hour?
How many half-hours are in a full hour?
How many quarter-hours are in a full hour?
 
This thoughtful analysis helps children grasp the structure of time and quickly develop the ability to read a clock.
 
The assembly process is part of the learning experience. When attaching the clock hands, guide children through the sequence: first, place the blue minute hand onto the screw, followed by the smaller hour hand, then the washer, and finally secure it onto the clock with the nut at the back. The set also includes a second hand, represented by a string with a bead, which can be added separately for further exploration.
 
Set Includes:
Clock face with dimensions of 24 cm x 24 cm (with rounded feet)
Two sets of clock hands
A center puzzle (circle divided into three parts)
Screw and nut
Bead on a string (second hand)
 
This beautifully crafted clock makes learning to tell time intuitive, fun, and rewarding.
