I would love to find this under the tree this Christmas!

from the Lego Shop:

“LEGO® counting in the kitchen!

It’s not just a LEGO® minifigure head…it’s a LEGO egg timer! Just twist the top to set the timer to ring after anything from a minute to an hour. Ticks off the seconds and rings when done!

  • Timer is decorated with three minifigure faces – set the timer to swap eyes and mouths!
  • Counts minutes up to an hour, just turn the timer to 60 before winding it up!”
