Kids Timer

A visual timer for kids

The Kids Timer in Timer+ is a colorful pie that shrinks as time runs down. When the time is up, a friendly bear is fully showing, so toddlers and preschoolers can see how long is left without reading a clock.

Easier transitions for toddlers and preschoolers

When kids can see how long is left, leaving the park, ending screen time, bath time, and bedtime go more smoothly.

  • Leaving the park

    Start a few minutes before it’s time to go, so leaving isn’t a surprise.

  • Ending screen time

    Kids can see how much screen time is left instead of asking.

  • Bath time and bedtime

    Give a set time for the bath, then a few minutes to get ready for bed.

  • Getting ready

    Brushing teeth, getting dressed, and putting on shoes before school.

  • Taking turns

    Each child gets the same time with a toy or a game.

  • Quiet time

    A calm stretch of reading or rest with a clear end.

Saved with your other timers

A Kids Timer stays in your timer list, so the clean-up timer or the bedtime timer is one tap away tomorrow. While it runs, its card shows the same sky as the timer. Pause it, add a minute, or stop it with the same buttons as any Timer+ timer.
