Rainbow Visual & Auditory Timer

The Rainbow Visual Timer is a bright, easy-to-use time management tool that helps children clearly understand how much time is left for an activity. With five pre-set time options ranging from 1 to 15 minutes, this engaging timer visually shows time passing using colour, making abstract concepts of time far more concrete and accessible for young learners.

Perfect for classrooms, therapy spaces, and home learning environments, the Rainbow Visual Timer supports children during transitions, focused work periods, sensory breaks, and calm-down moments. The clear visual countdown reduces uncertainty and anxiety, helping children stay on task and prepare for what comes next with confidence. Its simple, child-friendly design makes it suitable for independent use while still being robust enough for everyday classroom demands.
