Time Timer

$30.00

SMALL (3") - $30 | MEDIUM (8") - $35 | LARGE (12") - $40

Created by Jan Rogers as a solution to her then 4 year-old daughter's natural curiosity about time, the Time Timer provides its users with an innovative visual tool to manage time. Ms. Rogers thought that if children could “see” time as a measurement and begin to understand its duration, they would develop the critical skill of "time orientation." This concept led to the design of the Time Timer with its patented red disk. As the time elapsed, the red disk would disappear, creating a graphic image of the passage of time.

The Time Timer is an excellent tool for educators to teach the important skill in a new, powerful way. Teachers can use it classroom-wide or on an individual basis. It is also a great visual aide for therapists or professionals who need assistance with time management. Parents can use the Time Timer to help children stay on task during homework, chores and activities of daily living. UDO has found the Time Timer to be most valuable for managing time while presenting!

The Time Timer clock is available in three sizes, large for classroom applications, medium for home, therapy and presentation contexts, and small for individual use.
