I'm just curious.. I made a custom clock for my daughter, for when she's old enough, to help me with the 'when's Daddy going to be home?' type of wuestion kids ask repeatedly.. I figure it will also help learn to tell time.
I offered to customize them for people, but no one has taken me up on the offer in over 6 months?
Do you like the idea? Why?
Do you dislike the idea? Why?
Feedback will really help me. :)

Answers to questions.. Yes, I can customize it to add any events te customer needs.. as long as there's not too much to fit. :)
unless I figure out a way, I cannot make it so you can change it once you've bought it.
Thanks for the answers so far!

By the way.. to those who think the color-coded large fake hands are too distracting.. How would you like it to show where the big and little hand are when events occur? I thought larger fake hands would be easiest for a child to read... they'd watch for when the black hands are on top of the color hand that goes with the event.

If my son were younger, I would have bought one! What a wonderful idea!! Unfortunately he is 11 and can tell time very well, but this would have helped him when he was smaller. Maybe you need to do more advertising, word of mouth, flyer's, business cards, an ad on Craigslist.com, Ebay....etc It really is a great invention!

I think it is a very cute idea, but I agree that there are too many arrows. Maybe also make the images of things a little smaller and then it would be nice to have a whole sheet of things that a person could put on there (removable stickers) such as - Time for school, lunch time, mother comes home, daddy comes home, nap time , etc. So people can pick and choose what they want to put on and it could be changed daily. Great idea though.

I really think that the way of the clock for your child to tell time iss really neat and that it was a good idea so if you reall think it is a success and i know i do you should tell parents who also has kids like that about what you did to help it.!! :)

It is a good idea but people cannot buy them if they do not know about them. You need to market your idea to more areas. Also all the differnet hands are a little confusing.

I think the idea is good, but the false hands are a little confusing. The pictures of when things are gonna happen are excellent!

Very cute! I like how you can personalize it!
Can you move everything around though to fit your schedule? I couldn't tell that by the website.

Clever idea but you show how it's done and people are probably just copying the idea.
