Batteries don't last long
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like it gives kids a visual how long their nap time should last. Wish it would plug in because after one week batteries are dead. Would be nice if it displayed the time large so the kids could get used to recognizing that as well.

Awesome at home uses
This may be called a Classroom Timer but we got it to use at home, and it has ENDLESS uses. Most importantly - in my opinion - is getting my 4 year old to brush his teeth for the full 2 minutes! But we've also used it for sports games in the garden, 'can we tidy all the toys away in under 2/3/4/5 minutes', for seeing how many of something we can do in an amount of time, and more. It's even been a traffic light system when playing cars! It's teaching an understanding of time in a way that he can really understand (he's 4, nearly 5). Plus it's fun! He loves the "flashing lights" traffic lights system. Once you've read the instructions it's pretty simple to set up and to use. Pictured is using the Time Tracker to play 'What can I build in a minute?' with building blocks. Highly recommended.

A perfect tool for helping children manage their time
We ordered this timer as a tool to help our children manage their time. We were getting fed up of asking them numerous times to get changed/ tidy up/ finish up on their devices! The timer has really helped them to understand the concept of time. The visuals are brilliant as you can set how long you want each light to stay on for so it gives them a visual representation of how long they have left. It's been a game changer in our house and we found it's been brilliant when used with our marble reward system. You can change the volume of the alarm and so far our children have been responding well to its use.

Perfect for tracking time with children..
During lockdown, I have felt that my son is gradually having more and more screen time, so this Time Tracker is great for letting him know when he has to put everything down, and take a break. It is easy to use, and also features an alarm sound when his time is up. You can use this for lots of different activities, and in the summer we plan to use it for our own 'Sports day' ! It seems very durable (my youngest has already dropped it about 6 times and it's completely fine!). I like the fact that it has an amber light, unlike other timers, so my son knows he has to start to get ready to stop what he's doing in plenty of time, instead of an abrupt end. I have seen other people have also used this as a 'getting ready for bed' timer, which I think is a great idea and will be trying very soon. It has a large display that is easy to read and at the moment, seems good on battery consumption. Overall this is a great Time Tracker and does exactly what I need it to do.

Great Customer Service for product
This timer had some bad reviews but it really is great. It makes transitions during Guided Reading time efficient and perfect. I suspect that many of the negative reviews about it breaking are because people are not clear on best way to care for it. The timer is a bit fragile and takes a low voltage adapter or AAA batteries. If you are rough or use too high of a power source it can break like some reviews say, However, Learning Resources has wonderful customer service that is super helpful and accommodating. I wish it was a bit more durable, but it is so awesome for the time saving it provides in a tight schedule that it is well worth it.

This is an inexpensive product that gets the job done.
Use as a timing light for Toastmasters. Works well, aside from having to reset if it comes unplugged even with the batteries in.
