Kids Alarm Clock – A Dinosaur That Lights Up Before It Makes a Sound

This alarm clock is shaped like a dinosaur and does two things when the set time arrives: it glows, then it sounds. You pick between two tones, one soft and one a little more insistent. The movement runs silently, so nothing ticks next to the bed at night.

Why choose this alarm clock?

A sharp buzzer works, but it is a rough opening to the day. Light that comes up first gives a few seconds of warning before the tone arrives. The shape does its share of the work too, because a dinosaur on the nightstand is something a child actually wants to reach for.

Glow before sound: the room brightens a moment ahead of the tone.
Two tones: the quiet one or the clearer one, depending on how deeply your child sleeps.
Silent movement: no ticking in a quiet bedroom.
Dinosaur figure: it still looks right on the shelf during the day.
Battery powered: two AA cells, so no cord running across the floor.

Mornings that start with light and only then with sound.

Place it about an arm's length from the bed so the glow reaches the room without shining straight into a face. Two AA batteries go in the back and are not included; alkaline cells last the longest. Set the alarm together with your child once, and after that they can do it themselves.
