KADAMSVisual Timer for Kids with Audio Pre-Alarm - Traffic Light Alarm for Kids Toddler Teachers Classroom Home Time Management Tool 24hr Countdown Pause Memory Function

My grandkids are 5 and 3. This item works great to help them understand how much time they have to play or when it is bedtime.

This visual times has saved our potty training journey with our toddler. It is very easy to set up, you just pick a length of time and hit set. Our toddler knows now and says all the time: the rule is he can’t get off the potty until it blinks red and beeps. For some reason, he respects this timer and stays on the potty. It works really well and is easy to set. The display is easy to read and use and turning it off and on is very quick. I would absolutely suggest this timer and buy it again in an instant.

I like that this product lights up and gives visual cues. I'm trying to teach my son time-management and his understanding of the value of time is still developing. For instance, how long 5 minutes really is, or how short 10 minutes can be. We're using it for getting ready for bed, getting ready for school, and before the bus. I wish there was a way to have predetermined amount verses having to reset all the time. I think it is overpriced however there aren't other products like it... so they are fortunate there (and perhaps slightly greedy???).

-The first timer I ordered no issues everything was in working order.-I ended up ordering another for my other child but it arrived with a defective battery compartment. That’s where the -1 star comes from.-A replacement was ordered and that one arrived in working order. Customer service was excellent and very fast getting a replacement sent out. That to me is excellent service!First impressions my kids like the lights as the time counts down and the beeping they think is hilarious. During playtime I let them pause the timer for potty breaks then continue when they get back to playing.I think it’s colorful enough to use for school as well or anything you want to set specific times for. It’s not pocket sized like a phone but definitely neat to have at home.It does beep as you’re changing the timer/timing. There’s no regular clock on it as it’s specifically a timer only. It’s very lightweight, a bit thick but no issues with children carrying it around.It’s a neat kids timer easy to change as needed. It doesn’t seem to automatically set to half time for the color to get to yellow and I’m sure there’s a reason for that. I just change alarm to half of whatever I set.The main thing I considered was the kids enjoy the timer. They also follow directions better with the lights & sound than just telling them. Overall it’sa good timer for little ones.

Great for my daughter with ADHD. We use it for everything, computer time, tv time, how much time until bath, reading time, how long she has to get dressed, everything. She likes timers but hates the noise so she likes how she can see when it’s getting close to going off and go turn it off beforehand. I like that I can choose when it starts turning yellow then red because if I set it for an hour and then it turns yellow with 15 minutes left she’ll stop whatever she’s doing and turn it off instead of using all of her time, so this way I can set it 3 minutes before times up and she’s not losing much time. The alarm is not enough to wake her up in the morning, but it is enough for me to wake her up then set it and tell her she needs to be dressed by the time it goes off. I usually set it for 30 minutes because she needs that much time to wake up and process so once it turns yellow then she’ll get dressed super fast and try to make it before the timer goes off. Would highly recommend to anyone with kids.

***update. The company offered a refund but I requested a replacement. This product is way easier to use and more stable than competitor visual timers, which I have also purchased.I am very happy with the customer service. This product is very useful for kids who need more than just a verbal reminder.Original review:I purchased this product and it appeared to be working well. I refreshed all the batteries a few days ago. This evening the unit began to smell of burning plastic. I opened the back and burned my thumb when I attempted to pull out the battery. Not a bad burn for an adult but it would be bad for a kid or an elderly person. I don’t think I got my money’s worth as I haven’t had it all that long. This is going in the trash and I’m buying a different visual timer.

Display no longer working after 2 weeks use. Totally great product idea with terrible execution. Top button only pauses timer so kids can’t just press it to start the timer, that has to be done manually by an adult (or older kid) each time to start the predefined timer
