Tick tock, tick tock! What's the time on the clock? Teach baby the concept of day and night, teach them how numbers are related to different time of the day. Pull the two handles together to activate the tick tock sound, pull again, now it plays music. A good training for gross motor skills and for understanding Cause and Effect. For younger baby, encourage him to use his little fingers to turn the clocks hands and the clicking nose. Excellent tool for fine motors training.
