Melissa & Doug Shape Sorting Clock - Educational Toy

The Melissa & Doug Shape Sorting Clock is an entertaining and educational toy that has undergone a cool update, appealing to preschoolers. With a larger face, exposed natural wood, and vibrant pops of color on the chunky, match-able pieces, the clock boasts a fresh, modern look, while retaining the classic play value and top-quality construction that Melissa & Doug is known for.

Children will love the color-coded minute and hour hands that spin with a simple push. Whether the hands point anywhere, it's always time for learning and fun! Kids can match the colors, sort the shapes, and solve the puzzle as they manipulate the color blocks and turn the hands, building cognitive and motor skills and laying the groundwork for learning to tell time.

Extension activities printed directly on the box encourage parent-child interaction, helping children master early-learning concepts as they familiarize themselves with the form of a clock and the concepts of time. From classic wooden toys to crafts, pretend play, and games, Melissa & Doug products provide a launch pad to ignite imagination and a sense of wonder in all children, allowing them to discover themselves, their passions, and their purpose.

For more than 25 years, Melissa & Doug has consistently delivered innovative products that inspire open-ended thinking, encourage kids to see new possibilities, and offer Countless Ways to Play. This is part of a bigger vision to Take Back Childhood, as the company believes that by giving children a true childhood with the space and freedom to explore their world, they are given a path to realizing their full potential.

The Melissa & Doug Shape Sorting Clock is made of sturdy wooden construction, designed to last. This colorful toy for toddlers and preschoolers promotes color and shape recognition, as well as time-telling skills. The clock features rotating minute and hour hands, and 12 shaped number pieces that fit into recessed wells. This makes it an entertaining and educational toy that teaches younger children fine motor skills, numbers, colors, shapes, and concepts of time.

The Shape Sorting Clock makes a great gift for children ages 3 to 6, and can be paired with the Melissa & Doug Wooden Latches Board to provide hands-on, screen-free play and learning. For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has been creating beautifully designed, imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News has called "the gold standard in early childhood play."
