Learning Resources Magnetic Time Tracker, Magnetic Tracker, Ages 5+

I loved the concept of this product so much that I was willing to take a chance despite the bad reviews. It is absolutely what I need for my classroom. And it worked perfectly- for about two school periods. It didn't even last one day before it completely stopped working. Who designed this piece of junk?

This has made a difference to my two children - one of whom is Autistic and needs some extra support with time management and structure. They use it to get dressed quickly in the mornings and my 8 year old can happily program it. We have also been using it to do short blasts of work which has been a game changer. It has really helped both children with focus.

The Magnetic Time Tracker is a visual timer that sticks to any magnetic surface. It has a clear cover with 3 different color section, red, yellow, and green. It is easy to program with a few pushes of the button. It can be programed from 1 second up to 24 hours. It can be set to be visual with the lights lighting up and the sounds to hear the ticking. It has an easy to use flip out stand when using it on a table. It requires 4 AA batteries and 3 LR button cell batteries. The button cell batteries come with it. I was happily surprised with the size of this. It is chunky and perfect for small hands. Although I originally planned to use this for setting time limits for my son I quickly found a new use. My son has been having a hard time completing his homework lately. So I pulled out the Magnetic Time Tracker one night as he struggled. I told him that we were going to time him and see if he can beat the clock. So we set the timer and he got started. He did great.. he finished before the alarm and completed his work. Then he wanted to set the alarm for every portion of his homework. He was able to beat the clock every time. After that he wanted to use the timer for everything. He even set it for how long he will take a bath. I was so happy to find something that works to help him complete a task that he does not enjoy. The Magnetic Time Tracker met and exceeded my expectations. Coming from a teaching perspective I would have loved this in my classroom. I always gave my children warnings for the next activity and having a timer would have been great. Also, we are required to limit children's use of the computers in the classroom. This is not always easy as children love the computers. This would be a great visual timer for children to know when their time is up.

This is a great product with a lot of options. You can put it on a desktop, use it on something magnetic, or hang it on the wall. Lights display in the red, yellow, or green area depending on the time and you can set the timer up to as much as 24 hours. You can also choose to set the audible alarm reinforcing the visual factor. It's sturdy, doesn't take up much room, and is a great choice to use in a classroom, homeschool, and especially with special needs kids that need routine. I received this item to review.

We bought Learning Resources Magnetic Time Tracker to use as a timer for my son who is almost 4 and has Autism . We were all tired of the endless hassles involved in trying to get ready to go out, go to bed, and so on. It has worked remarkably well. Now I can start the timer a half hour before we leave for preschool, and he knows when he has to start hurrying, and also realizes when she doesn't yet have to. When it announces "Time's up!", he knows that we're *going*. Strong points are that the timer is colorful and attractive, and gives feedback in several ways. I can look at the digital display and know exactly how much time is left. My son can see the green, yellow, and red lights, and know roughly where she stands. The flashes before the color changes and the programmable audible feedback are very helpful, too. It just gives a lot of different ways for us to understand how much time is left. The main bonus is that the controls ! There is both a manual and an automatic mode, but they are both pretty similar. One means you set the amount of time for each phase, along with the optional sounds. The other means you set the total time, and the percentage of the total for each phase. Once you have a standard one set, you can reuse it (which is good for our 30-minute morning routine), but if you need to change it (like this morning, I only had 20 minutes) you have to do some button-pushing, and you need to choose the sounds for each phase as well as the time. My guess is that we'll eventually settle on a couple of standard programs and just leave it at those. It's well worth using, regardless, but the awkwardness of the controls keeps me from giving this five stars. This item has definitely reduced the stress level on all sides. There is less nagging, less fussing, and more cooperation. The one thing I wish it would have is a sound that is a bit louder because this is magnetic I put it on my fridge and I then have to take it will me to remind him time is up. If it was louder he could hear it in the next room and know.
