Why We Love Visual Sand Timers 

Does your child have difficulty with transitions? Is your child a visual learner?

Our sand timers are the perfect tool to support your child when transitioning between activities, managing screen time, brushing teeth, promoting calming activities, and so much more!

Whether in a classroom or at home, the versatility of large sand timers makes them a great tool for children's daily routines to support them with:

• Transitioning between activities and environments
• Encouraging self-regulation
• Patience and turn-taking
• Enhancing focus and attention
• Learning a sense of time

Our Sand Timers are available in:

• 1-Minute (Green)
• 2-Minute (Pink)
• 5-Minute (Blue)
• 10-Minute (Orange)
• 15- Minute (Purple)

This sand timer is durable and versatile with bright colours, and an hourglass shape is built to last and is adaptable for various uses.

 

Effective Ways to Use Sand Timers

• Use in any setting to provide your child with a consistent sense of time.
• Divide larger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps like getting dressed.
• Help ease difficult transitions by demonstrating the duration of time left and clarifying what "2 more minutes" actually looks like compared to a regular clock.
• Boost confidence and independence and highlight skills such as visual thinking.
• Visual cues that indicate the end-point of demanding tasks: "Let's brush our teeth for 2 minutes."
• For children with noise sensitivity, visually show them when to expect certain noises, like scheduled alarms or school bells.
