Not only do children’s watches make a great gift idea, they also prove to be a valuable tool to help kids learn in a fun and interactive way. For the children just learning how to tell time you can find watches that have specific design features that help them learn more easily. Things like a large, easy to read watch face, clearly defined hour and minute hands and easy to read minute markers to name a few.
But helping the child learn how to tell time is only one of the benefits a kids watch provides. If you work with your child it can also help provide an avenue to start teaching the concept of time and time management. For example if your child has a birthday party to attend and they need to be there at a specific time have them help you watch the time so they can tell you when it’s time to leave so they can be there on time. It’s best to start with things they are excited to attend because they’ll be more interested in watching the time closely. In fact they will probably start counting down the minutes if it’s an event they are really excited to attend!
Wrist watches can also help you teach them how to manage sections of time. For example if your child is doing household chores, homework or enjoying play time you can tell them they have one hour to work or play then before they move on to something else. This may be especially effective if you use their play or free time. If you tell them they have an hour to do A, B, C or D that they can pick whatever they want but they only have a certain amount of time it can help them learn how to prioritize.
Besides being a learning tool kids generally truly enjoy owning a watch. In ways it makes them feel more grown up, but with some of the cool kids watches available they are also a lot of fun.
