The Rainbow Visual Timer is a bright, easy-to-use visual time management tool designed to help children understand how much time remains for an activity. With five preset time options ranging from 1 to 15 minutes, the timer uses colour to make the passage of time more visible and easier for young learners to understand. Ideal for classroom routines, transitions, focused activities, sensory breaks, and calm-down periods, it provides a clear visual cue that can help children prepare for what comes next. Its simple, child-friendly design also supports the development of independent time management and self-regulation skills.
