Mini Teaching Clock with Geared Hour and Minute Hands, Color-Coded Markings and Removable Stand
A mini teaching clock gives children a hands-on way to connect the hour hand, minute hand and passage of time. Hidden internal gears keep the two hands moving in the correct relationship, so turning the minute hand advances the hour hand naturally. Color-coded hands match corresponding hour and minute markings, making it easier to see which scale each pointer uses during guided lessons.
The four-inch analog face is compact enough for individual desks, small-group instruction or a homeschool supply box. A removable plastic stand holds the yellow clock upright for tabletop demonstrations, then detaches for handheld practice and storage. Made from durable wipe-clean plastic, the Learning Resources Big Time Mini Clock operates manually and includes no alarm or electronic parts. It is recommended for ages five and up and works as a learning model rather than a timekeeping clock for everyday schedules.
