Customer Reviews For.... Melissa and Doug Wooden Shape Sorting Clock...
durable and educational

I purchased this for my 5-year-old son for the purpose of teaching him to tell time. He isn't too interested in the time-telling part yet, but I'm sure that will come with time. He likes to take the numbers out and put them back in, but he does already know all of his numbers and shapes, so he's not really learning anything there. The one I have has a pentagon for the 5 and a hexagon for the 6 and there is also a line under the 6 to prevent further confusion between the 6 and the 9. After the number 6, the 7 is an oval, the 8 is an octagon, and the 9 is a trapezoid, as they are in the picture. I really don't see the big deal with the numbers matching a shape with the same number of sides because not all of these have the number of sides of their number. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 are the only ones that do. That is really not a big deal to me, though, as it seems to have been for other reviewers. This toy seems well-made and durable and I'm sure it will last a very long time. You just can't compare the quality of wooden toys to plastic ones.....
