Time Timer RETRO - Green Land

This clever visual countdown timer comes in beautiful green tones and is made with at least 20% plant-based material derived from rice husks.

With a Time Timer, time becomes easy to see and understand—even if your child can’t tell the time yet. 

Time shapes so much of our daily routine. But for many children (and some adults), it can feel confusing when everyone else seems to understand “quarter past four” or “11:45” and it just doesn’t quite click yet. 

Whether it’s 20 minutes of comics before bed, 5 minutes of jumping jacks, or making math class feel more manageable, Time Timer helps keep things on track. 
Comes in several different models.

Do you know Time Timer?

Your child greatly benefits from being able to tell time and learning to manage their own time; for instance, how long until mealtime or when guests will arrive. The Time Timer has a dial that shows time counting down.

For example, if your child has fifteen minutes to wolf down some breakfast, you just need to set your Time Timer to 15 minutes. The timer then counts down silently, and the blue/red disc gets smaller and smaller.

You can choose between several Time Timer models. For example, Time Timers come with different minute counts, in various sizes, and even as wristwatches. The Time Timer is also great for adults and children with special needs. The bigger models are suitable for bigger settings or for visually impaired users. They have high colour resolution and ultra quiet timers without ticking.

The idea behind the 60 mins Time Timer
The clock counts down, but it goes clockwise and the numbers also go down rather than up.

It's quite logical. For instance, if you need to set the Time Timer to 25 minutes, so your child knows there are 25 minutes left of the evening before teeth need to be brushed and lunchboxes need to be packed, this is how it's done on the standard Time Timer:

Adjust the red disc so it covers 25 minutes. Now the dial is white from "12 o’clock" to where it normally says "35 minutes" on a regular clock – because from "35" to "12 o’clock" is 25 minutes.

The ingenious thing about the Time Timer is that the dial is reversed. On the Time Timer, it doesn't say "35" when you set the timer to 25 minutes. It logically shows "25". And the clock counts down from "25" and not up from "35".

So, this means you need to set the standard (60 min) Time Timer to "25" when you want to count down from 25 minutes. When 5 minutes have gone by, the red disc shows 20 minutes, so it's clear to see that there are only 20 minutes left of the evening.
