Cactus · Analogue Time Teacher · Ages 4–10
Turn everyday moments into time-telling practice
The Cactus Mentor Time Teacher Watch helps children read analogue time using a clear colour-coded face with useful Past and To markings.
Learning value
A first watch designed to teach a practical life skill
Past and To prompts
Minute markings and visual cues help children practise minutes past and minutes to the hour.
Clear analogue face
Large numbers and colour coding provide extra support while children learn to read a traditional clock face.
Practice throughout the day
Wearing the watch creates natural opportunities to connect time-telling with school, home and daily routines.
How the face works
Three steps for reading the time
Use short, everyday questions to help children turn the prompts on the watch face into an independent skill.
Find the minutes
Use the markings around the outside of the dial to identify the minute value.
Check Past or To
Follow the face prompts to decide whether the minutes are past or approaching the hour.
Read the hour
Use the hour hand to complete the time—for example, “20 minutes past 3”.
