What goes in the school bag?
Clocks, alarm clocks
- At the age of 6, children begin to understand the time and are certainly happy about their (possibly first)wristwatch. This watch can look a little "cooler" and doesn't have to be quite as childish as it is for preschoolers. Special features such as a stop function, lighting or a digital time display are small highlights for children at this age.
- Achildren's alarm clock ensures that they get up early. Whether battery-operated or with power supply, whether with dial or digital display: A wide range of alarm clocks is available for children. You can choose according to the taste and interest of the child: Whether simply designed, colorful, with lighting or even in the design of the favorite theme (for boys, for example, Star Wars, for girls horses or Barbie): A children's alarm clock is the perfect first day of school gift.
