With Boo now at school and learning to tell the time, we were on the lookout for a watch for her, so it was great ‘timing’ when the team at My Doodles got in touch to show their range to us.
Available in four different designs, the Owl, the Alien, the Penguin and the Bee, there’s a fun character to suit everyone, retailing at £15 each.
We opted for the bee design, and both Boo and I are really pleased with it. I had been looking around at children’s watches, and I was surprised by how many of them were digital or without all 12 numbers on the face. As she’s just learning to tell the time, it was really important to me to get her a watch like this.
The My Doodles watch is very child-friendly. As you can see from the images there, the face detaches from the strap, and the little face does then pop out of it’s rubbery outer bee in order for you to change the time on it. It then pops back in snugly and slides easily onto the strap.
Putting the watch on is then Boo’s favourite part. They are snap-on watches, so you have it out straight and then position it over your wrist and snap it against it so that it curls round and fits on, adjusting to each wearer for a perfect fit. It means that there will be no creasing where the hole marks are, it doesn’t slip and slide about and is nice and secure, whilst not pinching her skin or leaving a mark. It is also very easy for her to put on and take off herself.
Boo really likes her new watch, as she has been proudly wearing it to school and has even taken it to the point that she is now taking it to bed with her! As it’s so comfortable for her to wear, she is now getting used to having a wrist watch and so we are encouraging her to tell us the time more and more. She enjoys being all grown up with a watch that she can pop on herself, and I am happy that she’s wearing a watch that is properly fitted to her wrist and is safe from bumps with the rubber outer bee. We both love that the design is so adorably sweet, too.
You can find My Doodles on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

What appeals to you about the My Doodles range of watches?
How cute are they? Why can’t I find watches like that for us grown-ups (or not so grown-ups!) Glad you’re encouraging Boo to tell the time from a traditional clock face rather than rely on digital or phone clocks. Very important life skill in my opinion.
I love them! I was really surprised how many kids watches were digital, as I’d assumed most people would want their children to learn how to tell the time properly.
Ahhh they are all so cute! I love the yellow bumble bee one though – such a happy. smiley face!
Looks great. i think it’s important to teach kids timekeeping as a skill. The snap on strap is great as well!
Very pretty and fun!! It’s hard to find watches like these with legible numbers for kids!

The fact they are snap on means they’re easier for a child to put on themselves
the fact that they are snap wrist bands is a good idea my child is forever getting caught on things and i worry that if he had a watch and got it caught that it would damage him in some way but with these they would just come away from his wrist, the numbers are easy to read and i like the fact that they are rubber/silicon so they cant rub and the designs are lovely my son would pick the alien but i like the pink owl
They are brightly coloured and eye-catching
I like the pink owl x
