Telling the Time 25 Piece Floor Puzzle

The sloth is asleep at three in the morning, which is the only sensible thing in the picture.

A clock face built from twenty-five chunky pieces, with an animal doing something appropriate at every hour: a bear painting at ten, a tiger brushing its teeth before the day starts, the sloth taking the small hours seriously. Once it is together the hands actually move, so the puzzle becomes a teaching toy rather than going back in the box.

That second life is the whole point of this one. Assembling it is a twenty-minute job for a four-year-old; using it to work out what time they have their bath is a conversation you can have for the next year. Comes in a keepsake box with a cotton rope handle. FSC materials, 75% recycled packaging, vegetable inks.

Perfect for: The parent who has explained 'half past' four times this week and is willing to try visual aids.
