Turn it over and watch glittering liquid slide slowly from the top chamber to the bottom. This one keeps working after lights-out — the liquid glows once charged, so the drift stays visible in a dim or dark room.

Something to watch instead of something to wait through
A visual timer makes an abstract idea concrete. Instead of "two more minutes", a child can see the time going. That takes most of the argument out of transitions: leaving the playground, finishing screen time, packing up for bed.

Who is it for?
It suits children who struggle to stop one activity and start another, and anyone who finds a ticking clock or a phone countdown stressful — this one is completely silent, so it works in a quiet classroom and for sound-sensitive kids. It also works simply as something calming to watch when a room feels like too much. Browse our full range of calming tools.

Key features

• Glows in the dark — the flow stays visible in a darkened room.
• Slow visual drift — sustained, predictable movement that holds attention.

• Silent — no ticking and no alarm.
• Sturdy base — sits upright on a desk, bedside table or calm corner shelf.

Also in this range
We stock two more liquid timers with a different flow pattern — the Rain Drop and the Criss Cross. This is the only one that glows.
