Keep it concrete
For toddlers, the best timer is one where something fills up. Munch Buddy's glass jar drops in a ball every few seconds and shows the count, and the fish tank adds fish as the water rises. Both give a toddler something to watch and count along with.
Great first uses
- Turn-taking — “When the jar is full, it's your sister's turn.”
- Leaving the playground — start the timer a few minutes before you go.
- Waiting — for a snack, for a bath, for a grown-up to finish a call.
- Tidy-up — how many toys can go back before the buddy calls?
Start short
The free version of Munch Buddy runs every timer for one minute — a perfect length for a toddler's first timers. Once the idea clicks, Munch Buddy Plus adds longer and custom times.
