Asda have a Play and Learn Wooden Clock on offer for £2.37. I have no idea what they ‘normally’ go for, but it seems to be one of the cheaper wooden play clock options on the market.

Asda suggest that this is the perfect introductory colour puzzle for young children. It certainly is simple enough for an introductory puzzle! In addition, they’ll learn numbers and with a little luck, time too. Apparently it also helps with hand-eye coordination and language development.

This play and learn wooden clock is brightly coloured and has matching full-colour pictures beneath each number piece.

There’s free click and collect delivery to store, or £2.95 for standard delivery.

There’s just no end to what’s available for children these days, but statements about there being more now than there was when I was a child just make me feel old. There are so many beautiful ways of commemorating and celebrating children and childhood, and Little Ollie is one such a company making beautiful hand-made products.

Little Ollie Handmade Gifts is a husband and wife team with many years’ experience within crafts and bespoke furniture making. Their products are hand made to order, and nothing is mass produced   - with the exception, I expect, of the electric bits for the clock.

Little Ollie have a selection of themes to choose from, including Sail boat, Space Rocket,  Cupcake, Butterflies, Pirate Ships and Transport,  Fairytale and Hearts. Personalised gifts include a money box, photo frame, clock, decorative wall hangings and announcement plaques.

I've heard lots of parents rave about the Groclock. But it has always seemed a little bit pricey. At Tesco Direct this is £17.95 but using the promotional code TD-HGNM, you can bring the price down to £13.46. Delivery is free if you can collect at a store. But do check this first. Not all stores do a collection service.

This is the best discount I've seen for this Groclock since I started looking a couple of months ago. Even when these do get discounted, it never seems to be by much.  And if it doesn't work for your child - well it seems a tad pricey to experiment with.

This Gro-clock uses images of the stars and sun to communicate to children when they should go back to sleep and when it's time to get up.

Stars go out one-by-one during the night to show the passing of time. The option to set two separate wake-up times (weekday/weekend or night-time/day-time nap) is also included.

Due to popular request, this updated version of the Gro-Clock has a feature allowing parents to choose whether or not to display the digital clock during the usual ‘stars to sun’ countdown. This setting allows older children the chance to learn digital time.

The Gro-clock also comes with an illustrated book - the sleepy farm story.

Other features include adjustable screen brightness, a silent operation or an audible alarm feature. The GroClock is suitable for children aged 2 years and upwards.
