“ This clock comes with 2 sets of 'hands' - one set is wooden, and they can be turned around and manipulated, so that you can talk about time with your child, and quiz each other, and move the hands all you want. Then, when they're ready for their first wall clock in their bedroom, you can unscrew the set of wooden hands, and add the battery operated apparatus with movable hands....” --LeeDeeDee

“ We bought this for our son after first buying a play kitchen that was designed for much larger children. This kitchen is a nice small size, so not only can our son reach and access the whole thing, but it also fits nicely in his not-so-large room! The colors are great- yes, they are that bright- and there is quite a bit of room in the "stove." We have two Melissa and Doug food sets,...” --Gretchen_PDX
“ I splurged on this for our second child and we love it. We have a few other similarly sized Haba balls and they all fit. Very appealling to even very young children. DD mastered it at around 13m and our 3.5 year old likes to make them go fast. I wish we had it with our first. Also, terrific quality. It is isn't cheap but it will last through a LOT of kids. ” --JudiAU

“ I bought this at a second-hand store. Haba toys are high-quality, German-made toys. These toys will last if taken care of. The toy moves in a fun way, because the wheels are off-set. I attached a string to it to make it easier for my one-year-old and he loves pulling it everywhere! It is very durable! ” --mhemingson
“ We bought this 2nd hand a few years ago for our oldest. It has held up very well and even after much use it still looks the same as when we bought it. The colors are great and it makes a great clacking sound. Not too loud, not too quiet. Easy to grip. My only complaint is the plastic piece the colored discs are attached to. When I bought this I thought every part was wooden. Other than that...” --NettleTea
