PlanToys Activity Clock review

Telling time is one skill that most kids still learn from a physical clock face, and the PlanToys Activity Clock is a dedicated wooden one. PlanToys rates it for ages 3 and up and tags it with six development areas: mathematical, social, coordination, language and communication, cause and effect, and logical thinking. The product page links to ASTM and EN71 test reports, which few toy makers publish, and lists the weight as 7.1 lbs, so it is a sturdy tabletop piece rather than a pocket toy. It costs $49.99, and PlanToys ships free on orders over $50 within the contiguous USA, so a small add-on gets free shipping. The trade-off is focus. A clock does one job, so it ranks below open-ended picks such as MAGNA-TILES and the Melissa & Doug spelling set. PlanToys also publishes fewer details on this page than the other makers here, which limits our quality score.
