Love love love this. I genuinely can't recommend it enough. It's a great form of communication, especially with children that are neurodivergent and need a visual timer but aren't old enough to read numbers yet. We use it for all kinds of stuff. The value is great. The sound quality is great and adjustable. The timer itself comes in various increments that you can add together to create whatever you want. It's super easy to use and it's durable. I also love that the rainbow can either fill up or empty out.

I love this timer! It is very versatile, can count up or down, has an adjustable volume and can be set for 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 minutes. Perfect for my special needs daughter when she needs some time to calm down.

Great item based on video; but it was shipped used and in non-working condition.

I bought this for my classroom, for my kindergarten students to time their sensory breaks. They are allowed to have 5 minutes at a time in our break space, and setting a timer is the hardest part for them. In the past I used a cube timer, but even putting that in the correct position was hard for some students (or they would conveniently 'forget' to set it) I mounted this on the wall of the break space, set to 5 minutes, and explained it to the kids. The good: Super visible, only one button for the kids to press, adjustable volume on the sound at the end The bad: There is a delay before the display lights up, and if the student thinks they didn't do it right and presses it again, the timer seems to pause. This results in an infinite sensory break. There seems to be no way to prevent students from pausing it, and at least some students have been pausing it intentionally to get an extra long break. The ugly: Just doesn't work. Sometimes it seems to hang up and stop counting, as though it has been paused but without any input. Much more of the time, however, it just plain doesn't turn on, and students come interrupt me to tell me that the timer isn't working, or students that are upset and really need a break just give up and go cry at their desk because they can't set the timer. I have to cross the classroom and use the volume wheel to turn the timer off and back on again to get it to work again, and it only stays functional for like an hour. My hope was that this would be an easy timer for students to set, cutting down on the number of times that I had to help students with the timer during lessons. Instead it has multiplied the number of times I have to stop teaching to help, and at times I have just had to declare that the break space is closed just so that we can get a lesson finished. Very disappointed.

I bought this timer to help my toddler understand the concept of time. We frequently set timers for him to finish playtime, bath time, or even time out. This visual timer has been a game changer for us. He is able to have some sense of time by tracking the rainbow. The timer can show counting up (filling up rainbow) or counting down (rainbow fading in sections). It is easy to use and has preset times for 1, 3, 5, 10, and 15 minute intervals. You just slide the tab on the back to your desired length of time and choose counting up/down then press the button on the front to start the timer. The negatives I have with the timer is there is no digital time display for adults to see exactly how much time is left on the timer and you can only set it to the preset times.

This is such a cute timer! Great for toddlers and preschoolers who need a visual timer. It has held up well for my family. I love that it has strong magnets on the back also. The timer can count up or down, great feature! I also love that it’s large! Note that you cannot set any amount of time, you have to use a preset time limit (1,3,5,10, or 15 minutes). The biggest reason I took off some stars is because I don’t know how to tell when the timer is set. It makes the same sound when it starts as when you turn it on or pause it. That’s confusing because there’s no way to know it’s on until the color changes (which if it’s a 15 minute timer takes over 1 min). That’s frustrating when you’re trying to work with a toddler who needs a timer and you are unsure if/when the timer starts. In the video, you can tell I wasn’t sure and had to press the button again to start it. Also the kid can stop it at any point, by pushing the cloud button to pause it. I wish those two things were figured out. It’s fine for my daughter but I will not take it to my preschool.

Love this timer, we use it in my preschool classroom and is so helpful for the kids to have a visual warning about timing. The only thing that I would change is that the chime noise is not nearly loud enough for a classroom. Great value and good battery life (even when we forget to turn it off!)

This is a fantastic way to get kids to understand time especially because our son and most other kids love rainbows and this can count down or up make sure that it is in the right position for what you're doing cuz sometimes you'll have it in the wrong position and think it's not working. But it has settings at 10 minutes 15 minutes 8 minutes 5 minutes 3 minutes 2 minutes and 1 minute for all sorts of things and we just say okay when the rainbow's done it's time to go or go to sleep or whatever and it works fantastic with recommend this very highly. We bought two

It is simple enough for my preschoolers to operate. They have been punctual to the time set and sometimes will readily want to set their own time limit. A must buy to help with routine transitions.

Really good product. Rainbow back light much fainter than in picture but it's nice. First minute you don't see anything so you don't know if it doesn't work but you need to give it a minute for the first fraction. Goes on fridge. Time yourself to put the dishes away, beat the clock, then let yourself leave the kitchen

Kleiner dan verwacht. Het geluid is niet heel luid en duurt heel kort.

A great visual timer with different display options. Rainbow getting bigger as time passes, or getting smaller, you can choose. Clear to see and a good size, also has audio alarm when timer runs out. easy to operate, but be aware, you need to use the volume /power on/off wheel to reset each time you use the timer. you can also pause the timer when it is active, but on a long timer, if the child presses the pause a few times it can be hard to tell if it is active again or still paused, it helped us to just set it and keep it in view but not in reach.
