Kids' 60-Minute Visual Timer

"Five more minutes" means nothing to a four-year-old. Ten seconds and an hour feel the same to them. A visual timer turns time into something they can see shrinking, so the end of screen time, bath time or the playground doesn't feel like it came out of nowhere.

• Time they can see. Turn the dial up to 60 minutes and the coloured section shrinks as time runs down.
• Fewer battles at the hard moments. Use it for screen time, getting dressed, tidy-up, homework or quiet time.
• Beep or silent. A switch on the back lets you choose a sound at the end or a quiet finish.
• Small and light. About 9.5 x 9.5 x 4.7 cm, so it fits on a bench, desk or bedside table.
