Visual Timer for Kids 99 Minute Digital Cute Kids Visual Timer Classroom Timer for Home School Study Teaching Time Management Countdown Timer

We tried several timers for our 2 year old and this one is by far the best. It has both a numeric timer countdown, and the visual dots that fill in a circle from green to red. The visual component is dependent on the time set (a short time will fill up the circle with colored dots much faster than a longer timer). That might seem obvious, but lots of visual timers are a fixed 1 hour window, so you don't get to SEE anything interesting happen over the course of a few minutes. I like that it plays a little melody instead of abrasive alarm klaxon. I like that the volume is adjustable. I like that the screen turns itself off. I like that it's slightly more difficult to turn on and manipulate than a standard kitchen timer, so the toddler isn't mindlessly mashing buttons just to hear beeps. Our son loves how it says "Hi" and "Times Up".

We got this for our 8 year old daughter who has been having a hard time focusing and finishing tasks on time and she loves it so much she wants to time every activity she does, and she gets so excited she actually does try to finish on time which is the what we got it for, we’re very happy, it’s super cute!
