I know you can do better" look on it's face. Good idea, but I agree the bear should have an “I’m so disappointed. I know you can do better” look on it’s face.

I see how you can use it to say, "Only ten more minutes until bedtime" or "You can play video games for 30 minutes." However, that cute bear could potentially be an accomplice to some major cruelty and neglect for parents who may be tempted to use this timer to leave their preschoolers in time out for too long! "Only 47 minutes to go, Little Johnny..." A time out timer (for preschoolers) would be appropriate only up to 10 minutes, tops. The rule is one minute per one year. (2 minute time outs for 2 year olds, 5 minute time outs for 5 year olds, etc.) This timer has the capability to be set for up to one hour???

Really. I don't see the happy face as an effective tool in disciplining a child that has glued noodles and glitter to a golden retriever.
