Bee A Time Keeper Clock
Bee The Best You Can Bee!
Introducing the Bee A Time Keeper® Clock – the award-winning educational tool designed by Mindy Hudon, the creative mind behind Creative Child Magazine’s 2019 Product of the Year. Mindy, an esteemed author and presenter, has crafted this innovative clock to revolutionize how children perceive time.
Inspired by her expertise in executive function skills, particularly time management, Mindy's clock is more than just a timepiece; it's a gateway for children to grasp the abstract concept of time. With vibrant colors and adorable critters adorning its analog face, the Bee A Time Keeper® Clock transforms learning into a playful adventure.
Why is understanding time crucial for children? Because when they can "see and feel the passage of time," they become adept self-managers. Transitioning between activities becomes smoother, planning becomes second nature, and self-regulation blossoms.
Traditional methods often delay time education until second grade, but we believe in starting earlier. Our clock is tailored for children aged 3 to 9, bridging the gap between abstract time concepts and tangible comprehension.
The magic lies in the clock's design. Child-friendly visuals, coupled with the friendly critters gracing the minute and hour hands, make time tangible. It's not just about knowing the numbers on a clock; it's about understanding the "sweep of time" through engaging imagery.
But how does it work in practice? It's simple!
Position the Clock: Place the clock at the child's eye level, inviting them into the world of timekeeping.
Embrace Being Time Keepers®: Explain to the child their newfound role as time guardians. It's all about making sure we don't miss out on the fun!
Connect Time with Events: Point out where the "BEE" is on the clock and associate it with specific events. For example:
"When the BEE reaches the CATERPILLAR, it's snack time!"
"See, the BEE is on the LADYBUG. When it lands on the YELLOW BIRD, it's story time!"
"Cleaning up time starts when the BEE meets the CATERPILLAR at the bottom."
By linking time with activities and using playful language, the Bee A Time Keeper® Clock transforms learning into an adventure. Say goodbye to frustrating time battles – with Mindy's clock, understanding time becomes as natural as a child's play.
