Visual Timer for Kids

What it does

  1. 01

    Now → Next

    Add "Now" and "Next" cards (tidy up → dinner). Near the end the Next card stands out. When time is up, a green ring closes, "Done" appears and the Next card shows big. Running out of time is never a failure. * Heads-ups and Now → Next draw on visual support ideas used in developmental care. No effect is guaranteed.

  2. 02

    A clock shows when it ends

    A clock beside the timer fills in the time left, with green dotted hands at the end time ("Ends at 3:15"). With "Set it myself", kids trace a 60-minute dial to choose the time. Parents can hide these.

  3. 03

    Almost-done signal

    A heads-up 5, 2 or 1 minute before the end, or off. A thin arc on the edge marks the "almost done" zone. When time reaches it, it turns gentle yellow with a thick outline and "Almost done" appears; shape and words help if colors are hard to tell apart.

  4. 04

    Keeps the timer safe

    By default, the child screen shows no Pause or Stop. To stop, tap "Grown-ups" at the top right, pass the parent check, then pause, resume or stop. Or let your child stop it by holding until the ring fills. If stopped early, "You got this far!" appears and the time is recorded.

  5. 05

    Touch-proof lock

    With "Lock" on, touches change nothing; unlocking needs a parent check. It can lock at start and stays locked after reopening.

  6. 06

    Stamps

    Each finished timer earns a stamp; 10 make a card. Separate records for each sibling, kept on the device through updates.
