Gro-Clock
If you have been woken up in the early hours with the kids thinking it’s morning, you will appreciate how the Gro-Clock may help!
For children aged 2 or more who are too young to read an ordinary clock, the Gro-Clock has a glowing screen showing images of moon and sun to help communicate the difference between sleep and wake-up time. The stars go out one-by-one during the night to show the passing of time. and the changing images will encourage children to stay in bed longer as they learn to ‘stay in bed until you see the sun’.
The silent operation enables baby to continue sleeping as the display changes, and adjustable screen brightness allows you to choose the best amount of light you need. There is also an optional digital clock and audible alarm feature, so you can use it as a normal clock as your child grows up. The Gro-Clock is mains powered (adapter included) and comes with a beautifully illustrated sleepy farm story book. Sleepy Farm tells the tale of a very tired pig, to help reinforce the message of the importance of a good night’s sleep.
The Gro-Clock has won some rave reviews including the one below. If you want to see more reviews CLICK HERE.
“We bought this clock for our son for his birthday, when he turned 3 a month ago. He had been waking at 5.30 – 6.30 wanting to get into our bed or to get us sleeping on the floor in his room.
We showed him the demo of Moon with stars countdown and how “Mr Sunshine” would appear when it was “morning” – we optimistically chose 7am. From the first day it worked – I must say I was amazed, he did wake me at 5.30 to tell me the moon was still there for a couple of days.
But he is now checking before he shouts us in the morning – we hear him stir then go quiet if it’s pre-7am, then we are woken with a cheery, “Mummy it’s morning – the sunshine is here”.
My friend has had similar joy with hers too.
Well worth a try – and the clock is lovely addition to boy or girl’s nursery – much nicer than the other “pre-time-telling” clocks available.
I think it would even suit children younger than 3 as it comes with a cute storybook to introduce the idea to them at bedtime.”

Either click on the Gro clock picture on where it says ‘click here’ in the middle of the post before the review and you should find it. I checked the link and it seems OK from here. This is for the UK I’m afraid, I haven’t seen it in the US but will see if I can track it down and let you know here. Please note though, you will need an adaptor for US and Canada.

The Gro Clock really is wonderful! We managed to get one in Canada. If you watch Kijiji in a few different cities you should be able to track one down. They’re a bit pricey, but definitely worth it for an extra hour or two of sleep each morning!
