How to choose a children’s clock

Where to buy a children’s clock

Children clocks come in many varieties.  To make life easier for you we have sourced what we consider to be the top websites for children’s clock based on price, variety and novelty factor.

For sheer volume and probably every clock you could want then you cannot beat one of the biggest stores on the internet – Amazon Children Clocks .   We have listed at selection of children’s clock from amazon at Clock Shop UK Children Store 2.

Another major player on the internet and one of the leading high street retailers is John Lewis they have a dedicated children clock store and general clock store.  Their small selection of children clocks is not expensive and they have good selection of star wars and Lego clocks.

The Hut is worth a look for fun children’s clocks.   They do not have a specific category for children clocks but if you put clock in the search bar of their homepage you will get a good selection of fun and funky clocks which are very well priced.

Freemans is similar to the hut.   If you search on the homepage for ‘clock’ you will be get a mixture of children and adult clocks which are cheap and fun.   Products that stood out were the dalek clock, the Disney princess clock, Mr Men clocks, football clock and Fischer her price classic teaching clock.

Heal's supplies modern and contempory furniture for the home along with accessories.  Their range of clocks can be found under the tab - accessories –clock.   Although Heals clocks are more for adults we would say that some older children woud like their designs.   Heals clocks are defiantly more for the high end of the market so the prices can range upto hundreds of pounds.  But don’t let us put you off, as the quality speaks for itself and they do have some sleek, modern alarm clocks for around £30 and some wall clocks for around £50.  We especially liked the Vitra multi coloured wall clock, rainbow wall clock, peekaboo wall clock and the cuckoo clocks (which are very expensive!)

Totally funky as the name suggest have a small selection of trendy wall clocks.  At the top of the home page if you search for ‘clock’ it will list their clocks for sale.  Their clocks are not expensive and we particularly liked the photo frame wall clock – good for those memories!

Firebox is a gadget type website which has lots of fun and elaborate clocks.  If you search for 'clock' in their search bar at the top of the homepage you will find lots of character clocks such as Buzz Light-year, Woody, Star Wars, etc.  Their prices are reasonable and they have some really cool alarm clocks and solar clocks.  They also have one of our favourite clocks called the Fantome clock, which is a skeleton with mirrors so you can see the back and front.  Perhaps more for adults it would still make a great present for an older child.

Oregon scientific is a kind of gadget / science website that has innovate products to promote health and wellbeing.  They have various digital clocks but their main selling point is that their clocks throw a brilliant image of the time onto a wall or ceiling, which means no more fumbling for the light switch or disturbing your child to see what the time is.  The price of their clocks range from £30 to around £100 but they have lots features and would equally impress an adult.

Torquato is a homeware website from Germany.  They supply some fantastic kitchen type clocks but they also have an animal clock which every hour on the hour the clock makes the sound of an animal which we think children would like (please note you can turn the sounds off at night!).

Conrad has a vast array of clocks and these can be found under home & garden – clocks and watches.  Conrad has a children’s section of colourful wall and old fashioned style alarm clocks.   They have a huge collection of kitchen style wall clocks and they also stock clock movements, projection clocks, digital and table alarm clocks and short timers.

Another of the big players on the high street is BHS.  They have a website called BHSDirect which has a fun Simba Eichhorn Clown Learning Clock for those young children (only 4 pounds!).  For the elder kids they have an iPod clock alarm radio, clock radio iPod speaker dock and an all singing and dancing Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus iPod Speaker Dock.  There prices are reasonable and obviously they are a very well-known and trusted company.

Debenhams has a clock section with some very fashionable and modern looking  clocks at a good value.  They have a few specific children clocks but there are some nice simple elegant clocks which may suit a design for an older childs room.  To navigate to their clocks got to Home > Home & furniture > Home accessories > Clocks

Kiddicare is for babies and toddlers.   They have only 3 clocks but we would highly recommend them if you wish to have an early learning clock.  We especially like the gro clock – This is the description of the Gro clock ‘How do you get your children to understand when it's time to get up? SIMPLE stay in bed until you see the sun!  Anyone who has been woken up at 5am with their kids thinking its morning will know where we're coming from with the Gro-clock! For children who are too young to read an ordinary clock, the Gro-clock uses the sun and moon to explain the difference between night and day. The changing images encourage children to stay in bed longer as they learn to "Stay in bed until you see the sun". The Gro-Clock has a new feature allowing parents to choose whether or not to display the digital clock during the usual 'stars to sun' countdown. So for older children, they can now start to learn digital time, as well as look for the arrival of the sun!  The Gro-Clock includes a sleepy farm story book, beautifully illustrated by leading children's artist Mike Terry. 'Sleepy Farm' tells the tale of a very tired pig. The book helps reinforce the message of the importance of a good night's sleep’  55 customers have rated it so it must be popular.  To find their clocks just search 'Clock' in the search bar.

Dealtastic which as the name suggest has deals on various products.  They sell a few clocks so it’s worth checking them out.  We especially liked Dora the Explorer Projection Alarm Clock & Radio which Projects Images on the Ceiling.

Menkind is a website for men  but their clocks are fun and interesting and would definately be liked by older boys for the novelty factor.  We especially liked the Nuclear Meltdown Alarm Clock.  Just type 'clock' in their search bar.

One final website we would recommend is House of Bath.  If you search for 'clock' in their search bar you will find some fun children clocks including the Star projection clock and Talking Apple Clock.

This is not a complete list of websites that sell children clocks as there are hundreds but this should help to narrow down and save you time and money on what clock you would like and where to go to purchase it.  If you go to Chidren Clock Shop 1 you will see a selection of children clocks from the above websites.
