The Bee A Time Keeper® clock uses a clear, analog format with bright visuals so children can see and feel the passage of time, making routines easier and transitions smoother.
Playful critters and cheerful colors engage young learners, helping them understand time in a warm, developmentally supportive way.
By helping to reduce frustration and uncertainty, the clock supports calmer days, stronger self-management, and growing confidence at home, in school, and beyond.
• Makes routines and transitions calmer and more predictable.
• Helps children understand time expectations without feeling frustrated.
• Encourages independence, planning, and time management.
The Bee A Time Keeper® Clock turns time into a clear visual that young children can actually see and understand. Instead of numbers or digital countdowns, kids watch the playful Bee (minutes) and Snail (hours) move toward familiar critter character targets, helping them anticipate what’s next and navigate transitions with less stress.
Children learn naturally using child friendly critters and learning time language.The clock’s analog format shows what time has passed, what is happening now, and what is coming up next. This helps children develop true time awareness and better understand what “5 more minutes”looks and feels like.
Analog clocks are a visual representation of time and help anyone understand the past, present, and Future time while digital clocks only show Now time. This foundational skill supports lifelong time-management and planning, and is strongly recommended by executive-function experts like Marydee Sklar, author of Seeing My Time®.
The clock is designed for children ages 3 thru 8, but older children also benefit, especially those working on executive functioning, routine-building, or time-management skills.
Not at all! Children do not need to read numbers. They simply learn about all the child friendly Critters on the face of the clock and the Bee and Snail on the hands of the clock. Then adults use phrases like: “When the Bee gets to the owl, it will be time to clean up.”
