The Educational Bedside Clock That Advances as Your Child Grows.
Teach Me Time! Talking Alarm Clock & Night-Light is an adorable child's bedside alarm clock, time-teaching tool and dual-color nightlight all in one. The collective features of this educational toy are designed to grow with your child from the day they are first out of the crib.
Green Means GO!
This convenient (for parents, that is) feature was inspired by homegrown solutions to the problem of young children bounding out of bed at very early hours. If you've ever taped over the minutes digits of an old digital alarm and instructed your son or daughter to not get up until "this number is a six", then you're one of many (sleep deprived?) parents who understands the need for the "OK to Wake!" dual-color nightlight. Teach Me Time's! night-light has flexible timer settings. You define the time that it turns on in the evening (soft yellow glow), the time that it changes color from yellow to green ("OK to Wake!") and the time that it turns off completely. If desired, the color-changing option is easily disabled.
Let's Learn to Tell Time!
Teach Me Time! features an interactive, talking time-teaching game designed to help school-aged kids learn to tell time on both analog and digital clocks. The large, bright LCD display is capable of displaying the time in either format or both at once. More specifically, the Teach Me Time! game works very much like the time-teaching tools that grade school teachers use in the classroom: First ask your child to press the left toe button to display a random time on the analog portion of the display (digital time hidden). Next press the right toe button to have Teach Me Time! speak the answer and display the correct time in digital format. The game is designed to foster a dialog between you and your child about time, keeping you involved in the learning process. The Teach Me Time! game is fully adjustable - five difficulty levels allow you to restrict which times are displayed so that you can start simply and progress in difficulty as your son or daughter matures. For example, level 1 only displays "round" hours, level 2 adds the half-hours, etc. Full manual override provides complete control of the game by the parent, if desired, allowing any specific time to be hand-entered.
"Grown-Up" Alarm Clock
For older children that want to get up "on their own", Teach Me Time! is a fully-functional alarm clock with snooze - just like mom and dad's! A fun "ding-a-ling" bell sound takes the place of the more traditional beep-beep-beep. When sounding, the left toe button snoozes the alarm for ten minutes and the right toe button silences the bell.
Other Features
We tried to make Teach Me Time! as flexible as possible to meet the needs of parents everywhere. Teach Me Time! comes with three interchangeable colored bezels (blue, pink and yellow). Use the "Display" button to show just the analog clock face, just the digital clock or both at once (to help kids make the association between the two). Volume and brightness settings are also fully adjustable. Teach Me Time! comes with its own AC power adapter and has optional battery back-up for time and settings. Two AA batteries are required (not included) for back-up functions.
