Teaching children how to tell time can be difficult, and with the advent of digital watches, digital clocks, and iPad’s a parent can have an even more difficult time convincing their children that they need to know how to tell time.
Having their own watch will give kids a sense of pride in ownership, and allow them to express their own individuality. Additionally, it can help them learn how to tell time in a fun and unique way.
From buildable watches, to their favourite Disney characters, our list has 10 watches perfect for a child under 10.
