Visual support during concentration and moments of rest
This sturdy 15-minute hourglass helps children get a grip on longer periods of time. Ideal for activities where concentration, independence or peace are important. The hourglass makes time visible and tangible - without distraction from sound or digital stimuli.

Fifteen minutes is perfect for tasks like:
- Work independently on one assignment or practice session
- Reading, drawing or doing puzzles in class or at home
- Limiting screen time in a calm, visual way
- Quiet time-out moments without the pressure of the clock
- Defined relaxation exercises or sensory play

Why 15 minutes works:
This duration is long enough to get into a flow, but short enough to remain manageable – especially for children who need predictability, such as those with autism or ADHD. By offering multiple hourglasses (e.g. 10, 15 and 20 minutes), you give children choice and therefore ownership over their time.

Advantages:
- Strengthens concentration and task orientation
- Supports planning and independent working
- Creates structure without pressure
- Promotes freedom of choice and self-regulation

Play suggestion: Let the child choose how much time he thinks he needs. A quarter of an hour of focused work feels different than a quarter of an hour of 'free choice' - experiencing that difference is valuable and educational.
