Clock Learning for kids helps your kids in early years learn how to read the analog clocks and tell the time in daily life. This app is an aided tool designed for guided learning so parents must sit in to guide your children about the changing time and different time formats. Kids will enjoy to use it while learning at the same time. Do not just download it and leave your children alone. In Free Move, simply use fingers to move a long hand or a short hand in the clock in the forward direction. Your kids will naturally learn the time by reading the numbers in the digital clock appeared at the bottom along with the events that show up. The backgrounds and associated items change according to time of the day to help build up a chain of events. In 12 Quiz Hour and 24 Quiz Hour, your children will learn where each hour of the day is positioned in the clock. It's a simple test but your children will gradually remember. Clock Learning for Kids was designed with ease of use and following the way the real clock works. Both long and short hands move relatively in tandem like the real clock. Your children cannot move the clock's hands backward as this helps your children to learn that the real time always ticks ahead and will never move back. Clock Learning for Kids has 4 levels of reading difficulty and is available in 2 modes, i.e. 12 hours and 24 hours. If your children begin to pick up numbers, they should be able to read the analog clocks in no time with the parents' guide. This app is free without any ads or hidden links with the hope that kids around the world will have a good time to learn how to tell the time. We will be very happy if you just share it to other parents who have kids of the same age as yours. Thank you.
