Time Tracker helps kids manage time at kidEstore.co.uk

Time Tracker timing device with coloured lights
Our kids love the new Time Tracker and use it to time everything from brushing teeth to turns at batting in cricket!

The time tracker has three coloured lights on its' lighthouse shaped body - green, amber and red. You can configure the countdown to move the light from colour to colour after set times. For instance you could set it for 7 minutes on green, 2 minutes on amber and then just 1 final minute on red - a total of 10 minutes. As the light moves from section to section you can configure it to play one of a library of noises.
You can program it quite complicatedly or just use a default setting and enter your own total time for a simple countdown.
All of this helps children focus on the amount of time available for a task (homework anyone) and better plan their time to finish on the deadline. They actually enjoy working against this timer instead of having a parent telling them 'just one minute left'.
Great fun and a really good homework aid - also widely used in classrooms.
Time Tracker is just £24.95 at kidEstore.co.uk
