Visual Clock Timer

60-Minute Visual Timer

This 60-minute visual timer is an excellent tool for supporting children’s understanding of time, routines, and transitions. Its bright blue countdown display provides a visual representation of passing time, helping children to anticipate when an activity will end or when it’s time to begin the next task,  without relying solely on abstract numbers.

From an Occupational Therapy perspective, this timer is ideal for children who:

• Experience difficulty with transitions between tasks or environments
• Benefit from visual cues to support time awareness and independence
• Require support for attention and self-regulation during tasks such as homework, therapy sessions, or daily routines

At 9cm tall, it’s compact enough for classroom desks, therapy rooms, or home use. The alarm signals when time is up, reinforcing time awareness and helping children learn to pace themselves and manage expectations.

This timer can be a powerful tool to build executive functioning skills, including planning, organisation, and sustained attention, while reducing anxiety around time-based activities.

OT Tip: Use this timer to make routines predictable and calm. For example, set it for 10 minutes of play before pack-up, or for 20 minutes of focused work followed by a sensory break.
