Next, the alarm clock is programmed for sleep, play and wake times. During the sleep time, the clock will “go to sleep” with your kids and you can even put on a night light function if needed.

This is an all in one alarm clock that will quickly and easily teach your kids when it is time to sleep and wake up with easy to understand icons, natural sounds, lights and colors.

You can also customize different colors to accompany each icon.

Kids Alarm Clock By LIELONGREN
Next, we have a very modern looking bear paw kids alarm clock which actually has a color changing night light that can change between 5 appealing colors.
Special Features:
1. Simulates Sunrise & Sunset
This alarm can simulate a sunrise or sunset according to the times that you set for those events. For example, when it is sunrise, the light in the clock will actually slowly get brighter until it reaches full brightness and the alarm will sound. Then, when it is sunset, the light will slowly get dimmer until it goes out.

This is a great alarm for a baby, toddler and young kids as it helps with sleep training and can also be used for improving study habits. It is also a smart alarm where you can have different wake up, sleep and even snooze settings according to the day of the week, weekends etc.
#5. Clocky Alarm Clock On Wheels
The final alarm clock that we will look at is the Clocky model which is quite different from the rest since it is actually on wheels.
This is the best alarm clocks for heavy sleepers (both kids and even adults) since the clock will actually roll away and hide as the alarm goes off so you actually have to get off the bed to find and take it off.
I actually first saw this on Price Is Right as a prize and this peaked my interest! This would be great for older children.
Special Features:
Wheels
As mentioned above, this alarm clock is on wheels which really separates it from the rest of alarm clocks. It can not only roll but also jump up to 3 feet from a nightstand.
Clocky can move easily on carpet, wood, tile and other flooring types and is great for deep sleepers as it not only moves so you’re forced to wake up but it also has an extremely loud alarm.
Benefits
This is a great alarm for kids, teenagers and adults who often abuse the snooze button. Of course, you can set the snooze for up to 8 minutes or you can turn it off completely.
