This is a pretty, well-made watch that could help an older child learn to tell time. It is made of stainless steel and has a nylon velcro band. It is pink and the watch face is adorned with butterflies. The "second" hand is a balloon.

Although a cute watch, the primary purpose is to assist in teaching a child to tell time. For example, the hour and minute hands are labeled as such. Also, it comes with a cardboard time telling kit. It seems like it could be effective for some children, since they can see time-telling in action and read the words on their actual watch.

I tried it out on my four year old daughter. She thought the watch looked great and wore it occasionally. However, it's too big for her wrist and she's a little too young to teach how to use an analog watch. For one, her reading skills aren't quite up to "hour" and "minute." Also, experts put telling time in general at the 5-6 age range of child development.

Overall, this is a decorative, sturdy watch that most girls will find attractive. The time teaching techniques are intriguing and should help some children learn to read a watch. However, it is probably better for older kids, judging by the size of the band and the actual developmental ability to learn to tell time.
