It may seem that the “get out of bed,” “get dressed,” “eat breakfast,” “brush your teeth” routines of September are far away, but it’s not too early to get the tool that will make the job easier! Moschel Kadokura’s On-Task On-Time For Kids looks like a cousin of a See-and-Say, but it’s a one-foot-tall timer that parents customize with easily repositioned stickers illustrating their child’s daily routines.
After creating the one-hour to-do list, you turn the timer on and watch as your child races off to complete his tasks.
The ticking sound and slowly turning wheel add excitement, as it reminds him that time is passing.
You’ll teach your little one time-management skills, build self-esteem, and be glad to be doing less nagging during your day. Kadokura’s time-saving device is long overdue!
