Five times as much peace, structure and overview in the group!
This set of 5 sturdy 5-minute sand timers is perfect for classrooms, therapy groups, and situations where several children are practicing their sense of time at the same time.
The visual calm of the slowly flowing sand helps children understand how long five minutes is. It's ideal for transitions, small tasks, cooperative activities, or individual work sessions. By using five at a time, everyone has their own visual timer—providing clarity and preventing conflict or anxiety.
