Product Overview

This Sand Activity Timer uses coloured sand flowing through a clear hourglass to make the passage of time visible and intuitive. With thick, durable perspex walls and moulded end caps, it’s designed to withstand classroom use, therapy spaces or everyday home activities. Choose from three durations — 3 minutes, 5 minutes or 10 minutes — to match your task timing needs.

Turn the timer upside down and let children see time in action, offering predictability and structure during transitions, calm-down breaks, reading time or play-based experiments. Robust and easy to use, this sensory-friendly tool helps make the abstract concept of time feel real and manageable for kids.

Also available in a pack of three, including a 3, 5 and 10-minute timer.
