With smart phones, smart watches and digital items that do practically everything for us, including tell us when and where to be...exactly when we need to be there. Why in the world do we need to tell time on a traditional clock or watch? It's practically a lost art these days. I'll admit, I personally haven't worn a watch for years. My i-device has been my source of time management for more years than I can count. Until a few weeks ago, that is! Thanks to FlikFlak, I am now sporting a brand new fancy Frozen watch. Yep, Elsa and Anna are helping me make it to my appointments on time, drop off and pick up my kid on time and meet deadlines. However, I already know how to tell time. So why am I wearing a watch designed to help kids learn to tell time?



1. I like it. It's cute and stylish enough for a momma like me.  The face is fun, funky, and in-bedded with sparkly rhinestones. The band is made of cloth so it's soft, flexible and comfortable for everyday...for a mom or a kid. And it's washable too!

2. I told my daughter that as soon as she learns to tell time, it's really hers. So, we are using it to teach a 4-year-old the concept of time. It might be awhile before we get there, but she loves Frozen, so she is a motivated little learner at the moment. (Who knows, I might need to replace this watch sooner than I think)

On their website www.flikflak.com, they have plenty of tools to help introduce your little learner to the concept of time. They use siblings Flik and Flak to help teach the concept. The cute video below introduces them and sums it up quite nicely.

The website also has games in three different levels to help teach the concept of time.

Now for the watches, they have numerous styles and designs to choose from including characters from Mickey Mouse, Superman, Planes and more. Every Watch is Swiss made and gets the highest marks for quality, right down to the precise quartz movement that makes it tick. Check out the latest designs here.

Fun for kids of all ages!! Because it's never too early to be on time!

Be sure to like them on Facebook to be in the know of new styles and updates!
