Happy Monday everyone! Today I have a fun giveaway for you. It’s the Magnetic Elapsed Time Set by Learning Resources. This fun tool is an easy way to help students understand how time progresses.
I personally like the segmented timeline that comes with it to help the counting process. Sometimes the circular shape of the clock can be confusing I think, so it’s nice to have it in this format as well.
What are the details?
- The Magnetic Elapsed Time Set is $24.99
- The set includes 2 magnetic clocks with repositionable hands, and a 24-hour timeline with “start” and “end” labels, and removable guide numbers.
- The clocks are 10”
How do we use this?
I put them up on our magnetic white board as shown above and then set the clocks to different times. Next I have Tinker Bell position the “start” and “end” markers on the timeline strip. Together we count the time between the markers to see how much time has elapsed between the two clocks.
We also do this in reverse, I will set the “start” and “end” markers on the timeline, then Tinker Bell will place the hands in the correct position on the circular clock faces. Next we count the time going around the clock face and then the strip to verify.
What do we think?
I like this display, it really helps practice how to read a clock for younger kids, and also helps illustrate how we count the passing of time. It is fairly large as you can see, so you do need to make sure you have a space large enough to accommodate it. The full 24-strip will not fit on our little whiteboard, so I just place the ones we needed on it. You could also use this on a table instead of a magnetic board if you don’t have one. I also like how there are both the round clock faces as well as the segmented timeline to help show how time passes.

I would love to win this set because I have two time-learners who learn best using hands-on, and is perfectly fits the bill.
I would love to win this…I have 5 kids that I homeschool & this would really help them really understand the passing of time. This is great!
I would love this for homeschooling! I’m already homeschooling our oldest but we have our second kiddo about to start. This would be a great interactive hands on tool for her to learn time!
I’m not sure if this is the write to leave a comment about the giveaway, but I’ll write anyway. This is my second year homeschooling and I still feel like such a rookie. My daughter is in 2nd grade and we are having a blast together, but I know I have so much to learn. I enjoy all of your posts and your expertise and ideas have been VERY helpful. This giveaway is just one of the many products or ideas that i have gotten from your blog that I could use. I appreciate all you have posted. It is really so helpful. 🙂 thank you!
This looks perfect for my younger kids.
My daughter is getting interest with time. She always shout, “it’s two.” I don’t know why two though. Love to win this set.

I would love to win this set because my daughter Emma is ready to learn all about time.
I am a mom to 4 children ( 10, 8, 3 & 2 weeks). This clock would be an awesome resource to use to help my boys with learning to tell time. Love your blog!!
