5watch your time people  Sep 23, 2009 By Karen M. Hansen
Great product to help students in my classroom understand concept of elapsed time. I keep it hung on the wall next to classroom clock. No learning curve. They got it right away. Students (K-5th) get more work done in same amount of time! Less dependent on me.

Down side...
Don't let kids touch this. The red part that you move is super fragile, flimsy, thin plastic and needs a light touch. Beeper does not work.

3learning time  Jul 30, 2010 By Jane Day
We got the Time Timer so my 4 1/2 yr old son could get a 'sense' of time. It has really helped him because he can see the time disappear. The timer itself is kinda cheapy....We've hung it on the wall so the kids can't mess with it. It would be nice if the company would beef-up the construction so the kids can use it as well. All-in-all, I would recommend this product, it has helped incredibly with time issues like getting dressed for school or lights out for bedtime.

5Great Visual  May 27, 2010 By Margaret
I hung this timer up on the wall because I've read reviews by people who were disappointed with the flimsy quality. Yes, it does take a gentle touch and should not be used by children but the timer and alarm both work like they are suppose to. I've had it for about 2 months now and use it every single day. The timer is a tab low in volume, however, it does sound off in three successive double beeps and that's just about right for me. It is expensive considerng the durability issue, and improvements in volume and choosing length of the beeps would be a benefit too. Overall, it is a really useful learning device that could have lasting staying power if it's reputation does not get blown on being flimsy. (I'd just keep my receipt and ask for a replacement because it is a useful device). As far as how I use it goes, my 3 1/2 yr-old has autism so the possibilities are endless but as an example, I currently use it to monitor his watered down juice intake because he kept me running to the fridge every ten minutes for refills. It was making me nuts! So, I bought the timer and now he cannot have another glass (for 1 hour or whatever I want to set it to) until the timer goes to "zero" and "all the red color has gone". In truth, most times the clock is more for me than for him...and that's OK, too!

4Visual Timer  Sep 19, 2010 By Summer W Bowen
I bought this timer to help my 3 1/2 and soon to be 5 year olds see how much time they had left for different activities. They are not autistic (though I understand this is a great tool for children with autism). We use it for bath time, TV time, and also breakfast time during the weekdays (helps keep us on track during the morning rush to get out the door). The audible beep is plenty loud enough to be heard in another room. It is somewhat fragile--the red portion is just a plastic film and the legs on the back that allow the timer to stand can break easily. You just have to be aware that it can break and that it is not really a toy for kids. It has been very helpful for my boys to see the time get smaller instead of just telling them they have 15 minutes left. When the timer goes off, their time is up. They also enjoy setting the timer which is a great learning tool for them to start understanding how to tell time.

5Not a toy, but a tool...  Nov 17, 2010 By karenrz "karenrz"
and this timer should be treated as such. Our PDD-NOS/ADHD 11 yr old son does not notice the passage of time, so chores and homework do get timed in my home. We are buying one of these for his teacher to use in the classroom as it's easy to use, the visual representation of time elapsed is great, and is a great tool overall to use with kids (and adults) who have a problem staying on task. Many of the reviews mentioned that this timer breaks easily; that can be a problem as the timer is open faced so the time can be set by moving the plastic dial, and the battery is readily accessible for small hands through the back. I would not allow a small child with a tendency to take things apart or put in his/er mouth to "play" with this timer.
