About

Timo

Features
Read full description

Timo turns time into something children can see. Transitions can be hard for little ones. Timo uses a calm, visual hourglass to make time easier to understand and everyday transitions more predictable. Whether it’s time to clean up, brush teeth, leave the playground, finish screen time, get ready for bed, or move on to the next activity, Timo gives children a gentle visual cue for what’s happening now and when it’s time to move on. SEE TIME PASS Instead of watching numbers count down, children can watch the hourglass change as time passes. The visual timer is designed to be simple, calm, and easy for young children to understand. MAKE TRANSITIONS GENTLER Give your child a clear beginning and end to an activity without constantly saying, “Hurry up” or “Time to stop.” Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
