What Makes It Uncommon

Helping Hands

Digital clocks are everywhere, so why should kids learn to read an old-school timepiece? Easy: because it teaches essentials of counting and fractions and gives youngsters a grasp of the concept of time.

Lauren Vantuykom's clever design uses blocks of color that help little ones understand what hour it is, even when the small hand isn’t pointing right at a number (at 2:30, for example). The minutes are vividly marked off in increments of 5 to 55, and the star-shaped secondhand demonstrates the meaning of clockwise.

Each watch has a Japanese quartz movement and is shock- and water-resistant (though can’t be worn while swimming). The hypoallergenic silicone band is free of lead and BPA, and features your choice of butterflies, sharks, or dinosaurs. Made in China.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.

Sold individually.

Florida

Lauren Vantuykom, now a Florida resident, was born and raised in Brussels, Belgium. After spending her career in marketing, she shifted gears when she moved to the US. When the mom of two noticed that her son, diagnosed with ADHD, needed help moving from one task to the next, she looked to the internet for ideas. After seeing parents who used color-coded clocks, she tried it too--with great success. From there, she designed a watch specifically made to help kids understand the concept of time.
