Need some help getting your kid out of bed for the first day of school? Why be the bad guy when you can get him or her one of these cool alarm clocks? When it goes off, you can be the good guy who turns it off.
Tip: to make that first day go a little more smoothly, set the alarm clock everyday a week before school starts to get your child used to the new schedule.
LEGO maniacs will go crazy for this LEGO Brick Clock Radio ($30). And if he gets up early enough, maybe he’ll have some extra time after breakfast to play with a few LEGOs.
Perch this Tweeting Birdhouse Shaped Alarm Clock ($35) on her nightstand and she can wake up to a sweet birdsong (or a traditional beeping alarm if that doesn’t work).
This Disney Fairies Alarm Clock Radio ($25) is cute without being too girly and comes with FM radio functionality to get her moving.
