TIME TIMER 8 inch Visual Timer - 60 Minute Desk Countdown Clock with Dry Erase Activity Card, Also Magnetic - for Kids Classroom, Homeschooling Study Tool, Task Reminder, Home and Kitchen Timer

Helpful for my toddlers to visualize time! We use a timer to help clean up ("how many toys can we clean up in 5 minutes?!") and it seemed like an abstract concept to them. They enjoy now looking at the RED and seeing the number next to it. The loudness isn't crazy loud which I do not mind. When not in use, I have on the fridge and the magnet works great.

The perfect visual timer. We have had this for 2 years now, using it every day with our ADHD child. It's easy to turn, the 3 year old figured it out. It has a magnet and legs so you can move it around the house so easily. It has a beep or no beep mode as well. Love it.

I work as a K-12 substitute, and I bought it to use in elementary schools. I was skeptical when I took it with me to a high school, but it was so effective even at helping teenagers to manage their time. It worked just as well with freshmen as it did with seniors. The alarm isn't obnoxious either. I'm taking this timer with me on EVERY assignment!

This timer is perfect for teachers! You just set it to the time you want - no need to go past it and then back again like other timers- and you can choose to have it beep when it’s done or not. I have the alarm option on, and it beeps 4x, then stops. No need to run over to it to turn it off if I’m on the other side of the classroom. I love it! It also doesn’t “tick” like other timers I tried. It’s a silent, visual timer (until the beeps at the end, which is optional), which is exactly what I wanted for our center rotations. Great, steady magnets, too! Love it!!!

This has become an essential part of the daily life of our son. Because he is five he does not take reference to actual clocks yet. So without this product he had to rely on dad's indication whether or not his time limitation for something was reached. I could tell that he did not like that. To him it always felt like his dad was cutting him short or he was not given enough in the first place. But by using this product we are visually agreeing together on time and he is given an objective tool to refer to. Now when his time is over he accepts that whatever duration we agreed on is over and he keeps his promises like stop watching Youtube (which is banned most of the time anyway), play time is over and brushing his teeth, getting out of bath etc. etc.You can use this product many ways and the best way I found is to "reward" him with more time. On most ocassions I indicate a certain red area first, let's say equivalent to 20 minutes. Then I tell him that he can put a little more time himself because he did a great job at x today. However I am not actually granting him anything extra because I initially gave him less time then I had planned anyway but for him it feels like I am rewarding him. By doing this he almost never protests for more time when the alarm sounds. He feels like he already negotiated some time from his dad beforehand and therefor we are both winners in this deal. Without this tool, time limitations felt like a punishment. Not anymore.I am taking 1 star away though because the carton squares with the cartoon activities that you can cut out of the box are absolutely rubbish and unusable. They do not fit on top of the clock.

This timer is large, has a pull out stand, is magnetic, has a buzzer (haven’t used it since my kid is sensitive to sounds), counts down time the way a real clock moves, and is my kid’s nemesis. He hates when I use it, but it does help him measure time better. I think his patience improves when we use it, and his anxiety isn’t as bad since he knows when to expect lunch to end, or how long before iPad time, etc. This timer has been dropped onto a tile floor (I won’t mention my husband’s name), and it works fine. I like the little legs that pull out for the stand, so that I can move it to where it is more visible. It is hard to deny that you didn’t know time was running out when it is clearly sitting in front of your face. If your life is on a timer like mine, I would get one.

It’s great for the early childhood classroom (and probably older students too). And it keeps the teacher on schedule too!

The media could not be loaded. My son’s kindergarten teacher uses this in her classroom so that is where I got the idea from. This timer gives kids a visual on time, which is a much easier concept then just assuming kids know what 10 minutes is. He enjoys setting it himself after I tell him how many minutes. I have found So many uses for it such as 10 minutes of reading, 5 More minutes on your tablet, 3 minutes of teeth brushing, 15 more minutes until bedtime, 8 More minutes to finish finish your bites of food…etc. I would absolutely recommend this clock to anyone on the fence about it
