This quarter in Kindergarten homeschool, my Princess is learning how to tell time. She loves it. We’ve learned about the short hand and long hand as well as the hours (1-12). We’ve proceeded to learn about 30 minutes after and 15 minutes after the hour. She LOVES it. In fact, math is her favorite subject right now. She taught herself how to count by 5s all on her own from 5-100. So now that she can count by 5s, telling time has become much simpler for her.
Here is a round up of great resources to help your youngster tell time:
- Tick Tock Look at The Clock Activity Printable
- The Time Song
- Telling Time with Cubes
- Clock Puzzles
- Clock with Movable Hands Printable
- Telling Time Math Unit
- Telling Time is my Superpower Worksheet
- Telling Time Game Board
Also, here are 5 books at Amazon to help kids tell time:
The best part of learning to tell time is getting a new watch! My Princess has wanted a watch of her own now for months. And not just a little digital cartoon character watch for $5 but a real watch! So she was delighted when she was given a scented Moffet Watch with interchangeable parts!

I would choose the black currant and candy apple Moffett Watch starter pack.
I”d get the Moffett watch starter pack – coconut & orange.
My son is slowly starting to get the concept of time more and more. They work on it at Preschool quite a bit so I’m hoping his eagerness to learn continues.
We didn’t work on it in Preschool with her at all. But she couldn’t wait this school year to start learning. It has been easy for her know that she can’t count by 5s. The little hand and big hand still keep confusing her though.
What an adorable watch. We are doing time telling and for 1st grade it got even harder for my Jasmine. We won’t give up on it. I took all the digital clocks out of our house. Thanks for the chance to win.
It is fun because they are scented and you can change the color based on your clothing. Good luck!
I would choose the coconut and orange started kit.
