, even an old analog egg timer. But especially for kids who haven’t quite grasped numbers yet, that’s all just some confusing pantomime before grown-ups cruelly snatch their food away. With the Time Timer, time is no longer just some abstraction that’s arbitrarily measured out by adults and robots, and safely ignored. They canit now. Like nothing else, watching that red circle shrink into ever-smaller slices motivates my kids to finish before it’s gone.
When time’s up, the clock simply emits a few beeps I would classify as “pleasant,” although this feature can also be muted. We almost never make it anyway. By the time the disk has waned into a two-minute sliver, my kids’ innate competitiveness kicks in, and they’ll race to see who can beat the clock.
