My First Clock Book

My First Clock Book

A simple interactive book designed to introduce children to the concept of time through familiar daily activities.

With a movable clock hand and clear visual cues, children explore routines like waking up, mealtimes, and bedtime, helping them connect time with everyday experiences in a concrete, hands-on way.

Helpful when

Children are learning daily routines or struggling with transitions.

Why this is Roost approved

Understanding time can be abstract for young children. This book makes it tangible by linking clock time to predictable daily routines, supporting sequencing, transitions, and early independence in a calm, accessible format.

This is a Roost Approved recommendation. The Resource Roost does not sell this item and pricing and availability may vary. Last seen priced around R347.
How to use at home
  • Move the clock hand together as you talk about daily activities.
  • Link times in the book to your child’s real routine.
  • Use simple phrases like “first,” “next,” and “then” to support sequencing.
