Tick Tock Turtle Kids Alarm Clock

Tick Tock Turtle Kids Alarm Clock is an innovative children's timepiece and sleep companion that revolutionizes the traditional alarm clock concept through its child-friendly design and multifunctional capabilities. Designed by Daniel Lau and recognized with an Iron A' Design Award in the Baby, Kids and Children's Products Design category, this thoughtfully engineered device features a distinctive turtle-shaped form factor that combines educational time-telling features with gentle wake-up functionality. The design incorporates illuminated dots on the turtle's shell that serve as both time indicators and gradual sunrise wake-up lights, creating an intuitive visual representation of time passage that children can easily comprehend. The clock's architecture demonstrates exceptional attention to user experience, featuring a modular design with a removable shell that cleverly conceals parental control buttons while maintaining child-accessible functions through the shell's integrated button mechanism. The device's base is constructed from food-grade silicone, enabling secure placement on mattresses during sleep monitoring and ensuring stability throughout nighttime use. The product's technical innovation is evident in its carefully engineered optics, which required extensive prototyping to achieve the desired soft, rounded illumination effect through the shell's surface. The design process involved sophisticated manufacturing solutions, ultimately utilizing a combination of injection molding and silicone paint overlay to achieve both aesthetic and cost-effective production requirements. This sleep trainer incorporates advanced features including sleep cycle detection and customizable night light functions, making it an all-encompassing sleep solution for children. Winner of the A' Design Award, this product exemplifies the integration of functional design with child-centric aesthetics, addressing both practical needs and emotional connections in children's product design.
