I’m not sure if it was their sibling competitiveness or if this cube is magic, but the speed at which they moved once I started the timer was every parent’s dream. We also used the Mooas Cube Timer as a “pick up the pace” tool in the morning before school to see if my son and daughter could be dressed and ready within an allotted time. Shockingly, over a series of a few days, he was motivated to read longer. But when he was offered control of timing his reading with this cube, he was giddy with excitement. Getting him to commit to nightly homework has historically involved a lot of time wasting on his part and nagging on my part. My son, in particular, is a world-class staller at the age of eight, and he takes his sweet time doing everything from eating cereal to putting on socks. My elementary-aged kids have very little concept of time. So, in disbelief of the simplicity of this product, I set out to try it with my daily tasks - instead of reaching for my smartphone. Surely something this straightforward has to have a catch. Easy to use: Turn the switch to low or high volume, decide which time preset you want, flip the cube so the desired time is facing upwards and let the countdown begin! When time is up, it gives off a series of beeps, and the discreet red light on the side of the cube will stop blinking.For instance, the mint version can set to 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-minute time increments, while the white version has presets for 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. Multiple time presets: It’s important to point out that this gadget comes in five colors - coral, mint, violet, white and yellow - and each shade comes with different time presets, so you should think about what you’d like to use it for before purchasing.It only requires two triple A batteries (not included), and I didn’t have to read a five-page manual with ridiculously confusing photos describing how to use it. Compact: I loved that this cube timer's 2.5-inch square size is small enough to be tucked into a kitchen drawer but large enough not to get lost amongst my kids’ Legos. ![]()
