Sure, these kitchen timers are great for timing your dinner entree. But that's not all they can do.

Here are our T.O.P. Five Ways to use them:

1. Time a study or reading session. No more "Am I done yet?" cries from your child's bedroom.
2. Beat the clock chores. Cleaning closets or scrubbing sinks are so much more fun when made into a game.
3. Sharing toys becomes fair when each child gets the same amount of play time.
4. Timing time outs. When the ladybug sings, you can rejoin the group.
5. Cutting down on long phone calls. Whether it's for you or your teen, you won't let the day slip away if you limit calls.

Choose from the ladybug, cat, mouse, chicken, pig or cow.
