What is a visual timer?
A visual timer represents passing time with a shape or progress display. Instead of relying only on numbers, a child can watch the colored ring shrink and see whether there is lots of time left or the finish is close.
How to use this visual timer with kids
- 1. Name one clear activity before starting.
- 2. Choose a duration the child can realistically complete.
- 3. Explain what happens when the timer finishes.
