Rainbow Visual Timer with Night Light – 60-Minute Countdown
Supporting Focus, Routine, and Emotional Regulation – EYLF-Aligned for Early Years Learning

The Rainbow Visual Timer with Night Light is a thoughtfully designed tool that helps young children build an understanding of time, transitions, and self-regulation. With a bright, engaging rainbow display and a clear 60-minute countdown, this visual timer turns abstract concepts into concrete, visual learning experiences. The built-in soft night light function adds a calming sensory element, supporting children’s emotional wellbeing in both learning and rest environments.

Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), this timer is an ideal resource for guiding daily routines, supporting inclusive practices, and promoting independent learning in early childhood settings.

EYLF-Aligned Learning Opportunities:

• Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity
  Using a visual timer helps children feel more in control of their routines, building independence and a secure sense of self as they anticipate transitions and complete tasks.

• Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
  The predictability and calm visuals of the timer support children in emotionally preparing for change, reducing anxiety during transitions like pack-up, clean-up, or group times.

• Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
  As children begin to understand time visually, they develop early concepts of sequence, cause-and-effect, and time awareness, fostering executive function and responsibility.

• Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators
  The timer supports children to communicate their needs, express readiness for transitions, or participate in self-directed time-limited activities like reading or calming moments.

• Practice Principle: Responsiveness and Inclusion
  This resource is especially supportive for children with autism, ADHD, or anxiety, providing a clear, visual support tool that meets diverse learning and sensory needs.
