Time Timer® MOD Education - 120 Mins

Do you know Time Timer?

Your child greatly benefits from being able to read a clock and manage their own schedule; for instance, how long until mealtime or when guests will arrive. The Time Timer has a clock face with a disc that visibly shows time counting down.

Time is abstract, so in our opinion, the Time Timer is simply brilliant. The red (or blue) disc clearly shows how much time remains. The Time Timer has no distracting audible ticks, and it's easy to track the countdown.

There are several Time Timer models to choose from. Time Timers are made as wristwatches, in large and small versions, and with different minute counts. 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 idea behind the 60 mins Time Timer
The clock counts down, but the numbers also go down and clockwise instead of up.

It's really logical. For example, when you need to adjust 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 you do it 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 says "35 minutes" on the face of 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 red disc counts down from "25" instead of counting up from "35".

So, this means you need to set the classic 60-minute Time Timer to "25" when you want to count down from 25 minutes. After 5 minutes, the red disc shows 20 minutes, so it's obvious that there are only 20 minutes left until it's time to get ready for bed.
