Time Timer Accs. - Magnetic Board

Do you know Time Timer?

Your child becomes much more self-reliant from being able to read a clock and learning to manage their own time; for instance, when the bus leaves, when guests will arrive, or how long until dinner. On the Time Timer, you can see time counting down on the dial.

Time is abstract, so we think the Time Timer is simply one of the most ingenious things we have seen in a long time. The red (or blue) disc clearly indicates how many minutes remain. The Time Timer has no distracting audible ticks, and it's easy to track the countdown.

We have several Time Timer models to choose from. You can get Time Timers as wristwatches, in large and small versions, and with different minute counts. 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 silent timers without ticking.

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

It's very logical. For example, when you need to set the Time Timer to 25 minutes, so your child understands there are 25 minutes left of the evening before they need to brush their teeth and hear a bedtime story, this is how it's done on the standard Time Timer:

Set the red disc so it covers 25 minutes. Now the dial is white from "12 o’clock" to where it normally would say "35 minutes" on a clock dial – because there are 25 minutes from "35" to "12 o’clock".

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

So, this means you need to adjust your classic 60-minute 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 until toothbrushing time.
