My Tot Clock ~ Review & Giveaway

**The product for this review/giveaway was provided by White Dove Innovations. All opinions are my own and were not influenced in any way.

Although my 3 year old has always been a great sleeper, he still struggled with not knowing when it was time to get up. Not being able to tell time yet, we were in need of a solution other than a regular clock. Something that made sense to him and could easily let him know when it's time to get up from naps and bedtime. Thankfully, we've found our solution with the My Tot Clock!

For those who aren't familiar, My Tot Clock is the first all-in-one sleep clock, alarm clock, nightlight, timeout timer, and activity timer for tiny tots who can't yet tell time. Learning more about this fantastic clock, I knew it was exactly what we had been looking for and was happy to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review it!

Our My Tot Clock couldn't have arrived at a better time. We had just moved Kaden into a new room on the lower level of our house. More than ever we needed to make sure he knew when it was time to get up and when it was time to sleep so that we weren't having to go down the stairs every morning at 6am to get him back in bed. Thankfully, the My Tot Clock has been a life saver!

I wasn't sure how hard it would be get the My Tot Clock all set up, but much to my appreciate found the user guide to be very helpful and easy to follow. In no time I had the clock ready to go.

I simply had to plug it in (it also runs on batteries which is great for back up), and turned it around to the backside to set the current time, nap time and bedtime. The current time shows on the analog clock on the front, as well as the digital clock on the back. And, setting the time couldn't have been easier!

Once I did that, I set the time he goes to bed at night, as well as the time he wakes up in the morning. That way when the bed time = current time, the clock automatically turns to blue and lets Kaden know that it's bedtime and time to stay in bed. And, on those rare occasions when we get the kids to bed a little bit earlier, we can manually start bed time by holding down thte dark blue button on the top for 5 seconds. It's perfect!

There's also a Tot Clock Treasure cartridge which came with the clock. It makes the sleep routine even more enjoyable. It can play a story, followed by lullabies and even white noise. You can set it up so that it will play the story, the story and lullabies, only lullabies, or music followed by white noise. These come on once the Bed Time and Nap Time start. We use them often at night as Kaden likes the lullabies and white noise feature. I like that My Tot Clock has these features and am still in awe of how much this clock has to offer!

Getting started I also made sure to set the Nap Time, which instead of setting a sleep time and wake time...it's simply a duration of time. So I set it for 2 hours which is our typical nap length, and then when we get down to nap he simply holds the light blue button down for 5 seconds and the light blue light comes on letting him know it's nap time. Just like morning time, once nap is over, the clock face turns yellow and plays a cheerful song to let him know it's time to get up. I LOVE it and so does he!! We don't always get down for nap at the exact same time every day, so I like being able to start the Nap Time once we get him in bed.

I had a feeling this clock would be perfect for Kaden, and I was right! Having the changing colors has really helped to teach him when it's time to sleep and when it's okay to get out of bed. We don't have him yelling for us at 6 am anymore, thinking it's time to get up. Nap time has also gone much more smoothly! With this clock it's easy for parents to set the routine, yet having a child-friendly clock for the child. He loves waking up to the fun song each day, as well as the great bedtime stories, lullabies and white noise. Bedtime and naptime has definitely become less stressful and more enjoyable for us all! 

Another great feature of the My Tot Clock is that it also includes a red light for timeout and a green light for any positive timed activity like potty training and picking up toys. Managing our time has never been easier thanks to this clock for children! I have used the red light several times, as well as the green light. I love how the green light helps to motivate him to clean up his room quickly (it almost becomes a game for him which is fun!).

We have found My Tot Clock to be the perfect solution for bedtime, naptime and more! It has made our daily routine run much more smoothly and I am not looking to get one for our youngest son as well! It's something we have shared about with our friends and family who have little ones, and would definitely recommend to others as well.
