Green, then yellow, then red - a warning before time runs out
Dome timer, 7.5 x 7.5 x 12.5cm. Two dials: total time from 5 minutes to 2 hours, and a separate warning time. The dome lights green, then yellow, then red. Volume control, or silent. 3 AAA batteries, not included. Ages 3+. $62.40.
The second dial is what makes this different from every other timer on this page. You set the total time, and then you set how long before the end the warning starts. The dome turns yellow at that point. A child gets a two minute notice that packing up is coming, which is the difference between a smooth transition and a meltdown.
The dome is visible from 360 degrees. A flat dial has to be facing you. This does not, so it works in the middle of a group table where children are sitting all the way around it.
Colour, not numbers. Green means carry on, yellow means finish up, red means done. A three-year-old reads that instantly and so does a child who is across the room and not looking directly at it.
Sound is optional and adjustable. Turn it off entirely for a quiet room and the lights still do the whole job.
Total time sets in 5 minute steps, from 5 minutes to 120 minutes.
