Watch it! Elapsed Time Clock {Educational Insights} Review

Time is something that I remember struggling with when I was younger and I admit sometimes I still struggle with if the clock has no numbers on it.  At my son’s Kindergarten meeting the teacher said how they will not be working on “Time” until about 2nd grade.  She said there are other things that they will focus on and “Time” does require some time to teach.  Luckily I got the “Watch It! Elapsed Time Clock” from Educational Insights to check out with my boys so they can maybe get a head start.

Watch it! Elapsed Time Clock

The simplest, clearest way to teach elapsed time, this geared non-electronic set features two analog wristwatches with correlating digital clocks underneath. Move the minute hand on the first watch to your desired start time and the minute hand on the second watch to your finish time—the digital clocks underneath automatically adjust! Then, slide open the cover on the answer window to see the elapsed time or keep it closed to quiz students. Patent pending.

 

The “Watch it! Elapsed Time Clock” is actually pretty cool.  When I first looked at it I didn’t understand how it would be beneficial but once I took it out and played around it, I saw the value.  First off, this product does not require batteries – yeah!  So what you do is set the first clock by pushing the blue piece to the time you want.  The time is also displayed right underneath it.  Then you do the same for the second clock.  Now what is cool is that the middle black piece tells you the Elapsed Time.
For example, the first clock says 10:15 and the second 10:20, Elapsed Time is 5 minutes.
Here is the back:
Another example:  First clock says 10:15 and second says 12:30 so the Elapsed Time is 2 hours 15 minutes.
You can also close the stopwatch in the middle so the Elapsed Time is not displayed.  This would be good for practicing (or for teachers!)
So not only can you learn to tell time but you can also learn Elapsed Time, which I think is another hard concept to grasp.  My boys are only 4 and 5 but they are fascinated with clocks and I hope this helps them to start to understand time.  It really is pretty neat.  I also want to add its big but it would fit on a shelf and is easy to grab and use.  There are no additional pieces required either.  Very simple but an important concept for kids to learn.
BUY IT: The Educational Insights Watch it! Elapsed Time Clock retails for $39.99 and is available at www.educationalinsights.com, other online retailers and specialty stores.
