Have fun with this child friendly timer. Watch as lots of fun, cute and interesting images are revealed as the timer counts down. Select from a range of 16 images and keep the little ones entertained, as they are uncovered. To make each countdown even more fun they end with their own unique sound to let you know the time is up. Create your own personalised fun timers. Simply select add timer and choose a picture from your photos or capture a new image using the camera. Then record your own unique sound to play when the timer is up. Not just for fun. Use these timers in many situations with your children, for example when cooking, reading, doing homework, bedtime routines, transitioning between activities or at bath time. It’s also a fantastic tool for parents and child alike when using discipline techniques such as the ‘Naughty Step’ or ‘Naught Spot’. An additional feature of our fun app is a specific setting to help children clean their teeth, with a 2 minute timer with 4 cycles of 30 seconds corresponding to which quadrant of the mouth to brush. Personalise and save each timer by choosing the duration. There are three bonus timers, Santa, Snowman and Rudolph the Reindeer that become visible only in November and December to get you in the Christmas spirit. Images include: sheep, duck, tractor, dog, frog, rocket, toothbrush, teddies, clock, egg, airplane, car, boat, flower, and cow. You can even use your own photos for a more personalised touch.
