Why a visual timer helps
Numbers are abstract, especially for young children. A disk that gets smaller shows "how much time is left" at a glance. Many teachers, parents and people with ADHD use visual timers for transitions, tidy-up time, homework blocks and screen-time limits.
Ideas
- Classroom: 5 minutes to clean up, 15 minutes of quiet reading.
- Home: tooth brushing, getting dressed, screen time.
- Work: time-box a task so it feels finite.
Use full screen on a projector or tablet so the whole room can see it.
FAQ
How long can it run?
Any preset up to 60 minutes. The disk shows a full hour as a full circle.
Can I change the color?
Yes: red, blue, green, orange or purple.
