Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of TIMER TIMER 8 INCH NEW MODEL WITH AUDIBLE OPTIONCustomer Review: only wish it was sturdier Summary: 4 Stars
it's true what everyone's written about how flimsy this is. Still, I would buy it again in a heartbeat because it's the only thing like it & it has made my life enormously easier. No more fights. I just set the timer and tell them that they have "x" number of minutes until we have to get dressed for school, and I set the timer so they can see the red running out for them. It's great. My children are 4 and 2 and they can grasp the concept of time/elapsing time with the help of this time timer. We first saw it at my daughter's occupational therapy to help during transitions for children who have sensory processing disorders. The same is true in our home. I even use it for when I want to be on the phone for 20 or 30 minutes and need them to play by themselves until then. (They are still supervised, just not on my lap trying to play with me.) And, I should add, that although my children insist on playing with it themselves when I'm not in the room, it is still working.
UPDATE (June 4, 2010)
now, however long it's been (a year?), the timer is beginning to not work. Sometimes, when it is set to anything higher than 5 minutes, it just won't move or count down, or however you want to describe it. Sometimes it works, though. Surely, somebody out there somewhere has to make a better, more practical version of this product! it's just such a must-have.
Description of TIMER TIMER 8 INCH NEW MODEL WITH AUDIBLE OPTIONTime Timer works as a VISUAL way to display how much time is left. To set the timer, move the red disk to the desired interval. The disk diminishes as time elapses until no red is visible.
It's a universal question asked by people from every walk of life. Elapsed time is an abstract concept that is difficult to understand and even harder to manage. Yet, managing time is a first step toward independence for many and a critical success factor for everyone. This important concept needs to be clearly understood to promote the efficient use of time.
Today, there is a company dedicated to making the concept of elapsed time easier to understand for people of all ages and ability levels. Time Timer LLC is taking the idea of a simple, visual depiction of elapsed time and turning it into a line of products that helps solve time perception problems. These proven products are so easy to use that even young children and those with learning disabilities can monitor their own timed activities.
