I wish I'd had these when my children were learning to tell time -- they're fun, very cute, and easy to understand. The first card gives complete directions on how to make the best use of the FIFTY different wipe-clean(hooray!) cards, and how to make time-telling part of your everyday routine.

On approximately two-thirds of the cards, Sam and Poppy - the kids from Farmyard Tales - are involved in various activities throughout their day. A small clock in the right top corner shows the time of that activity. After the child has looked at these and read thru them a few times, practice begins. Look at the activity and clock, turn the card over and use the enclosed pen to write the correct time, and draw hands on the clock. The remaining cards feature an analog clock showing a particular time, and the child writes in the corresponding digital time -- the flipside is the opposite -- it gives the digital and they write the analog.

One final card is a clock without any hands and you simply say a time, they draw the hands. Reverse the card and it's a digital clock with no numbers -- you give a time, they write it in. Lots of practice which is very necessary for time-telling, and the bonus of reading too. I love these! Every card practices both digital and analog time. They will learn the hour, half-hour, quarter hour and ten minute increments.

Make sure to check out all the Farmyard Tales items -- they are adorable.
