First toddler watch

One of the best and memorable gifts someone can give is a wrist watch. For kids especially, receiving your first watch would be exciting, to get it in your favourite colour, pattern would be fantastic, it sure was for my girls. 

Aside from teaching my girls how to read the time, I wanted them to have one to help with showing them importance of being independent, a peek into the world of grown-ups. 

I've looked at lots of places to buy my girls their "first wrist watch" and happy to have found a Australian company called Cactus watches.

We tested out two watches
