Assorted Sand Timers

Sand timers are used at school to help children learn how to take turns and solve problems. Sand timers are also used to let children know how long an activity will take or to let them know that they will be transitioning to a new activity soon. Sand timers allow children to manage time tasks; they can be used to help them complete a task and focus. For example, the child may be told that they have to complete 10 sums or finish their story plan by the time the sand runs out.
Parents can also use these effectively at home for tasks such as homework or getting ready in the morning. Linked to an agreed reward, Sand Timers can be most effective!
