Company Foundation: Fisher-Price was founded in 1930 by Herman Fisher, Irving Price, and Helen Schelle in East Aurora, New York. From the beginning, the company set standards for their toys that are still in place today.

Core Standards: These standards included intrinsic play value, ingenuity, strong construction, good value, and action. The goal was to create toys that appealed to a child's imagination and encouraged interactive play.

Design Philosophy: Fisher-Price aimed to create toys that satisfied the natural interests of each age level and that looked and acted as toys should — combining whimsy, action, sound, and making growing up a delightful experience.

Iconic Legacy: Over the decades, Fisher-Price has created countless beloved toys including the Rock-a-Stack, Corn Popper, Little People, and this classic Teaching Clock, establishing themselves as a trusted name in children's toys worldwide.

Original Introduction: First introduced to the world in 1968, the Fisher-Price Music Box Teaching Clock has made learning to tell time fun for generations of children.

Design Concept: Designed as a little red schoolhouse, the Fisher-Price Classics Music Box Teaching Clock plays "Grandfather's Clock" and has a rotating dial with timeless pictures of pre-schoolers hour by hour, as the clock face and minute hand revolve to the soothing ticking of time.

Educational Value: The toy combines music, visual learning, and hands-on interaction to help young children understand the concept of time in an engaging and memorable way.

Modern Revival: Thanks to the team at Basic Fun, this endearing classic is now available again for a whole new generation of children to enjoy, as part of the Fisher-Price Classic Retro Toy Series celebrating Fisher-Price's 90th Birthday in 2020.

Time Recognition: Helps children learn to recognise numbers and understand the concept of time through visual and auditory cues.

Fine Motor Skills: Winding the clock and manipulating the hands develops fine motor coordination and dexterity.

Cause and Effect: Children learn that their actions (winding the clock) produce results (music plays, images change).

Musical Appreciation: The "Grandfather's Clock" melody introduces children to classic music and rhythm.

Visual Learning: The changing images for each hour help children associate numbers with visual representations.

Independent Play: Encourages self-directed exploration and learning at the child's own pace.
