Poznajemy Czas by Jawa is an educational wooden clock puzzle designed to help children learn to tell time through hands-on interaction. The set includes a circular clock face with clearly printed hour markings, movable hour and minute hands, and removable numbered pieces that fit into the face to represent hours or time segments. The durable wooden construction and simple, tactile design support early numeracy, fine motor development and classroom or home learning activities focused on understanding hours, minutes and the passage of time.
Advantages
The wooden clock puzzle provides a tactile learning experience that reinforces number recognition and the relationship between hour and minute hands. Movable hands allow demonstrations of whole hours and simple minute intervals, while removable number pieces encourage matching and sequencing practice. Its compact, sturdy construction makes it suitable for repeated classroom use or at-home practice, and the straightforward design keeps focus on fundamental time-telling concepts without digital distractions.

Key specifications
- Material: painted and finished wood suitable for handling by young children
- Components: clock face, movable hour hand, movable minute hand, removable numbered pieces
- Design: analog clock layout with clearly printed hour markings and numbers
- Intended age group: preschool and early primary school children
How to use
Place the clock on a flat surface and show the child how to move the hour and minute hands to different positions. Use the removable numbered pieces to match hours on the face or to practice sequencing numbers. Demonstrate whole hours first (for example, 3:00) and then introduce half hours and quarter hours as the child becomes comfortable. Encourage the child to set the hands to times you name and to read times you set, progressing from whole hours to more detailed minute reading.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use short, regular practice sessions integrated with everyday routines—ask the child to set the clock to times associated with daily activities (wake-up, mealtime, bedtime). Supervise handling to protect painted surfaces and store the puzzle flat in a dry place to maintain component fit and finish.
