I purchased this timer to use for my son whom is autistic and it has been working thus far. However, I wish it had an off button so that the batteries do not runnout quickly. Once you pull the tab out the battery pack it is on until the batteries die.

It is a functional portable timer. It would be great if the buttons can be bigger that could be more convenient for Children's little hands.

So easy a child can operate!

We bought these timers for every student in 2nd grade. We have used them for all sorts of class activities. The alarms are quiet enough that it doesn't disturb everyone when they go off. I would recommend them except the speakers go out on way too many of them. One year we collected enough to exchange a box full, but the store told us we weren't allowed to do that(because they were older than return policy allows). This year out of 30 timers in one class, 9 speakers are not working and many of those are less than 2 years old and some are barely a year old. They cost too much to have to replace a third of them each year or so. If the speakers worked they are perfect for a classroom.

bought to help inceease studenr independence with some subtly. does the job!

These are cute and lightweight, and relatively easy for kids to control. However, they're essentially useless since you can barely hear the alarm when it goes off. The speaker is on the back of the time, so when the timer is laying on a table, the alarm is barely audible.

I used these for 10 years as an RSP teacher. I am using them now as a program assistant to a blind school psychologist when I help her test students. You can use them to time how long a child took to do a task. You can use them to count down the minutes to a certain event, such as recess or end of a work period. The batteries last a long time! You could use them as timers in your kitchen. They are very versatile and you will love them!

I love these new timers. My second grade students can stop and restart them independently. Excellent for partner paired fluency drills.

Of the 6 timers, 2 arrived in NOT WORKING condition. So of the 6 I needed for class, I only have 4. However, I do want to say that Customer Service said they would replace the 2 timers that were not working. Waiting for their arrival.

Students love timing each other.

Excellent for all types of students and parents.

I bought the Children's digital timers in order to help my students track their reading fluency growth. Each pair of students love to get the timers, they are very easy to use. The fun of using the timers has made out fluency checks an enjoyable part of our day.
