Peppa Pigs family has her in a stable daily routine. And, she’s also learning how to tell time. Her daily activities are scheduled at precise times of the day. Which in her case, makes for a very busy and full day. Her schedule consists of breakfast, play group, lunch with her classmates and then she gets picked up by her Mom and Dad. She then gets to play at the playground with friends and thereafter goes home for dinner with her family. With a day like this Peppa really needs to learn how to tell time.
Parents and readers can walk through Peppa’s routine and learn about the time of day she gets to do all her fun activities. For some kids this routine may be like their own. This sturdy board book has a built-in clock with moveable hands which makes this learning tool very interactive. One page shares Peppa’s daily activities while the other page instructs readers where to move the hands on the clock to a specific time. Colorful illustrations with recognizable objects and basic sentence structure make this tool fun and engaging.
The book has a simple clock at the top, so kids can move the hands on the clock to the hour that matches what is happening in the story. I think this is a great intro. to telling time for my kindergartener. My preschooler and kindergartener thought it was fun to hear about their day, plus I think they could relate to a story about two siblings about their age.
Peppa Pig storybooks are always incredibly simple and boring, but I love the interactive clock element in this. As my daughter understands more about time, I plan on changing the times that Peppa does things.
Overall, a great introduction to time and clocks for my little Peppa fans.
