About the Toddler Timer
A friendly visual timer for kids designed especially for toddlers and young children. The cute animal characters make it engaging, while the shrinking circle helps little ones understand time passing without needing to read numbers.
Perfect For
- Brush teeth time - Make the 2-minute brushing routine fun
- Tidy up time - Help kids understand when cleanup ends
- Screen time limits - Visual countdown until tablet time is over
- Waiting - "When the pink is gone, we can go!"
- Turn taking - Fair sharing during playtime
- Transitions - Getting ready, bath time, bedtime routines
How to Use
- Pick a time by tapping a number button (1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 minutes)
- Press the green Start button
- Watch the pink circle shrink as time passes
- When the timer ends, a gentle sound plays
Why Visual Timers Help Toddlers
Young children don't understand numbers or clocks yet, but they can see a colored area getting smaller. This makes the abstract concept of "5 more minutes" into something concrete and visual. It reduces anxiety about transitions and helps build time awareness naturally.
