Time Timer RETRO - Blue Water
This clever visual countdown timer comes in beautiful blue 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.

What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.

• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Do you know Time Timer?
Having a good perception and understanding of time reduces stress and provides a sense of safety. With the Time Timer, time is visualised, and it's actually not necessary to read a clock in order to understand how much time is left.For example, if your child has fifteen minutes to wolf down some breakfast, then simply set your Time Timer to 15 minutes. The timer then counts down silently, and the red or blue disc gradually gets smaller and smaller.
You can choose between several Time Timer models. For example, Time Timers come as wristwatches, with different minute counts, and in various sizes. The Time Timer is also great for people with special needs. The larger models are suitable for bigger settings or for visually impaired users. They have high colour resolution and silent timers with no audible ticking.
The main idea behind the classic 60-minute Time Timer
The clock counts down, but the numbers also go downwards and clockwise rather than up.
It's quite logical. For instance, if you want to set the Time Timer to 25 minutes, so your child understands 25 minutes are left of the evening before teeth need to be brushed and lunchboxes need to be packed, this is how it's done on the Time Timer:
Adjust 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 regular clock – because from "35" to "12 o’clock" is 25 minutes.
The ingenious thing about the Time Timer is that the numbers are reversed. On the Time Timer, the dial logically shows "25" (not 35) when you set the timer to 25 minutes. And the red disc counts down from "25" rather than counting up from "35".
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 passed, the red disc will be at "20" minutes, so it's clear that there are only 20 minutes left until toothbrushing time.
