{"product_id":"time-timer-plus-charcoal-gray","title":"Time Timer PLUS - Charcoal Gray","description":"\u003cb\u003eTime Timer PLUS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I was homeschooling my five, an area I had to thoughtfully address was time management. Like many homeschoolers, it was easier to drift through the day on island time than to run a more regimented routine à la \u003ci\u003eSound of Music\u003c\/i\u003e. This is an area that public schools may outshine us. School buses pull away from the curb, assignments are turned in, and recess ends, all like clockwork. Keeping to a schedule more adequately prepares a child for adulthood than the nonchalant attitude that is so easy to fall into.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Time Timer PLUS is here to help. The primary purpose of the Time Timer PLUS is to provide a visual cue of the passage of time while being able to stand up to all sorts of child-inspired abuse. Operation is intuitive and straightforward – the patented red disk moves as time elapses. The Time Timer PLUS is built into a super-sturdy carrying case with a handle and protective lens, so it moves easily all around the house. The time disc may be moved manually in either direction and can be set at any point on the face. You can use the visual depiction only or add the alarm to signal the end of a time period. The Time Timer PLUS also features a new volume control dial for those times you need a louder tone and those when you prefer silence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For younger children who have no sense of time, Time Timer PLUS provides the ability to see how much time is left without having to know how to tell time. We use a Time Timer with our two-year old twins while teaching them each morning. Setting it for an hour, they know that the sooner they get their assignments done, the longer they have to play with school-only toys. When that hour is up, all special toys are put away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Time Timer PLUS can also be used to keep kids on task for schoolwork, chores, and music practice, to reduce conflict on sharing a coveted toy, to reign in screen time, and, for some children, to ease their transitions and relieve the stress and anxiety that comes with change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Time Timer PLUS features a rugged case and durable clear lens to protect the red timer disk from sticky or curious fingers, a handle for increased ease of use and portability, and a volume control dial for the optional audio alert. One AA battery required for operation is not included.\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__features-title\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MiecEJMzGqA?rel=0\u0026amp;ecver=1\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eVolume control dial for those times you need a louder tone and those when you prefer silence.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLightweight anti-static disk.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSilent operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBenefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eTeaching children the concept of elapsed time\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaking homework and practice time more productive\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eReducing conflict in family and household routines\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eManaging the stress of transitions by showing “how much longer”\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eEmpowering teachers to teach instead of constantly monitoring behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncreasing performance on tests and in the workplace\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eKeeping meetings on time and moving forward\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTranscending language and culture barriers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/i\u003e Time Timer, LLC\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSize:\u003c\/i\u003e 5.5\" x 7\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eRequires:\u003c\/i\u003e One AA battery for operation (not included)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1994\/4551\/files\/ribbon_large.gif?v=1500415094\" alt=\"\"\u003eAwards and Endorsements:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This item is recognized by \u003cb\u003eAble Play\u003c\/b\u003e—a rating system that focuses on the developmental areas of physical, sensory, communicative, cognitive, and social\/emotional abilities of a child.\u003cbr\u003e Teacher's Choice Award for the Classroom!\u003cbr\u003e Teacher's Choice Award for the Family!\u003cbr\u003e Mom's Choice Awards® Gold Recipient!\u003cbr\u003e Homeschooling Seal of Approval Award for 2016!\u003cbr\u003e Instructor Magazine Teacher’s Pick Award Best of 2014!","brand":"Time Timer LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35290436534436,"sku":"856-856","price":39.95,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kit Item","offer_id":35290436567204,"sku":"856-856","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/9045\/9300\/products\/TimeTimer-Gray_IMG_8069.jpg?v=1595332992","url":"https:\/\/timberdoodleshort-com.myshopify.com\/products\/time-timer-plus-charcoal-gray","provider":"timberdoodleshort.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
