Come in a variety of colours with different shapes inside.
Liquid Timers are an incredibly useful tool to use with ALL children. Here are some ideas to get you started:
1. Use for calming or stress release for the child. Often the slow dripping of the liquid or spinning of the wheels inside can be relaxing!
2. To give a child time to process, WHEN the timer has dripped through THEN we will __________ (start work, go inside, etc). Allowing the child those 3 minutes to calm and refocus/process is AMAZING.
3. Create a sensory soothing area. Some children need a quiet area to sit. Giving them a Liquid Timer to watch while they are sitting is like magic!
4. Use as a reward – children with an ASD often like to watch items that drip or spin.
5. Teach the child to wait – “WHEN the timer has finished THEN you can go outside”.
6. Time the student to get faster at an activity, eg: ‘Can you write 3 sentences before the timer finishes’.
7. Count down to an activity starting or finishing.
8. Can you pack away and tidy your desk before the timer finishes?
