30-Minute Sand Timer – A Striking Visual Tool for Time Awareness and Focus
Make time meaningful and manageable with the 30-Minute Sand Timer – a visually striking and tactile resource designed to help children and young people develop essential time management skills. Featuring bold black sand flowing through a transparent hourglass chamber, this engaging timer offers a calming and intuitive way to visualise the passage of time, making it especially valuable for learning, therapy, or structured play.
With its clear 30-minute countdown, the 30-Minute Sand Timer is ideal for supporting longer tasks such as focused reading, independent learning, mindfulness exercises, or timed classroom activities. The slow, consistent flow of sand helps reduce stress around time pressure. It provides a gentle prompt for transitions and focus shifts, particularly useful in special educational needs (SEN) environments or for children with autism, ADHD, or anxiety.
Built for regular use in busy educational or home settings, the 30-Minute Sand Timer is housed in a robust plastic casing with a protected glass inner chamber. Embossed end caps add sensory interest and provide a stable grip for children who benefit from tactile feedback. Whether used as part of a daily routine or within a structured therapy session, this timer encourages independence, patience, and routine in a calm, predictable way.
