About this countdown

🎂

Kids ask how many sleeps are left roughly forty times a day. Enter the birthday below and you can hand them a link that answers on its own.

Kids ask how many sleeps are left about forty times a day. 🎂 Put the birthday in below and you can hand them a link that answers on its own.

Here is a fact that surprises people: in a room of just 23 people, there is a better than even chance that two of them share a birthday. In a room of 70, it is almost certain.

  • A tenth birthday is roughly 3,650 days of waiting, which puts one afternoon of party planning in perspective.
  • Counting up works too. Put in a past birthday and the timer shows how long ago it was.
  • Pin the link to a phone home screen and the number is there every morning. 🎈

Questions people ask

Can I count down to someone else's birthday?

Yes. Set their date, name the countdown, and send them the link.

Does it work for a birthday that already passed?

It does. The counter flips and starts counting up from that day instead.
