Set a timer. Watch the eggs hatch. Celebrate together. Hiyoko Timer turns waiting into a delightful experience for children. Instead of staring at numbers counting down, kids watch eggs wobble, crack, and hatch into adorable chicks -- then grow into chickens that walk right off the screen. No more "Are we done yet?" Just pure, visual anticipation. HOW IT WORKS Tap a floating bubble to pick your time: 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, or 60 minutes. The bubbles drift around the screen with real physics -- swipe them and watch them bounce off walls and each other. Kids love it before the timer even starts. Each bubble pops with a satisfying sound and takes you to the timer. WATCH THE EGGS COME TO LIFE The screen fills with eggs, and as time passes, each one goes through five stages: Egg - Wobbling - Cracking - Baby Chick - Chicken When an egg becomes a chicken, it bounces across the screen and walks away, leaving an empty nest behind. Tap any egg or chick to hear it -- knocking sounds for eggs, chirps for chicks, and clucking for chickens. When every egg has hatched, colorful confetti fills the screen. Tap to celebrate and return home. PERFECT FOR EVERYDAY ROUTINES - Getting dressed: "Your eggs will hatch in 5 minutes!" - Brushing teeth: Watch a chick hatch in 2 minutes - Homework time: Set 20 minutes and focus - Screen time limits: Timer ends, screen time ends - Cooking: Even adults enjoy watching eggs hatch - Practicing piano, tidying up, waiting at restaurants WHY PARENTS LOVE IT Children actually want to wait.

A simple timer that shows the remaining time as an area you can see. You do not have to read numbers. Just watch the colored part shrink, and you know how much time is left. ■ A dial you can read instantly The sector gets smaller as time runs out. Numbers and tick marks are printed on the face, so you can also check the exact minutes. ■ The whole dial changes Choose 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes. Pick 1 minute and one full turn takes a minute, so even short times start from a full disc and you can see the whole amount. You can also set any length from 1 to 180 minutes. ■ Set the time by dragging Just drag around the dial. No number pad. ■ Hide the digits You can turn off the remaining-time readout when the area alone is easier to grasp. ■ Full screen Show only the disc, in a large size.
