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".
