If you have a child between the ages of three and six (or know someone who does), you know that time is of the essence. Getting ready, getting fed, getting out the door all depends on being on time. Kids, of course, must be taught to tell time, but with the preponderance of digital, time is reduced to silly numbers on the screen. How do you make learning to tell time fun?
Turn to a classic. Modernist George Nelson invented many iconic clocks, and this Elephant Clock is among them. Check out the fun, yet spare design (fingerprints!). Use its analog format to teach the kid the proper structure of time (that old-fashioned dial makes all the difference). And rest easy knowing that you're also exposing the kid to plain old-fashioned good taste. What could be better?
On top of all that, elephants are beloved gender neutral creatures, comfortable in any bedroom and almost any decor (maybe not Princess Disney. But if you have Princess Disney slathered all over your girl's walls, you probably aren't reading this blog). Order Mr. Nelson's elephantine creation at www.velocityartanddesign.com. It's a gift the child will never forget.
