Egg-Shaped Colourful Volcano Eruption Timer

Egg-Shaped Colourful Volcano Eruption Timer – Inclusive, Engaging & EYLF-Aligned Learning Through Time

Ignite curiosity and promote self-regulation with the Egg-Shaped Colourful Volcano Eruption Timer – a visually dynamic and inclusive resource designed to support early childhood development under the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). With its captivating lava-like motion and bold, egg-shaped design, this timer turns moments of transition, focus, or emotional regulation into playful, calming experiences for all learners.

As vibrant “volcanic bubbles” slowly rise and fall inside the egg, children are encouraged to pause, breathe, and engage – making time meaningful, sensory, and inclusive.

EYLF-Aligned Learning Outcomes:

• Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
  This calming, sensory-rich tool promotes emotional regulation and mindfulness, helping children manage transitions, big feelings, or waiting times in a safe and soothing way.

• Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity
  Using the timer empowers children to take responsibility for their actions and routines. It supports independence by helping them understand the concept of time in a way that is accessible and developmentally appropriate.

• Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
  The visually stimulating “eruption” engages curiosity and attention. It supports sustained focus during short tasks and promotes engagement through sensory discovery.

Inclusive Features:

• Sensory-Friendly Visuals: The gentle, flowing motion of the colourful liquid makes this timer an excellent tool for children with sensory processing needs, ADHD, or autism.

• Accessible for Diverse Learners: With no numbers or loud alarms, this timer provides a non-verbal, universally understood way to measure short time intervals, supporting children from diverse backgrounds and learning abilities.

• Supports Diverse Learning Styles: Combines visual, tactile, and cognitive engagement—ideal for individual use, group routines, or calm-down corners.
