Love these!: my feedback

Love these sand timers! I initially purchased these because our pediatrician recommended using an hour glass sand timer (from one of our game boxes) to help our child know how long they had to sit at the dinner table. Now I have used them for much for than that! They are great visuals for time. I love the large size which makes it fun and easy to see from across the room and hard to loose. I have also used these to keep track of my personal reading time. I also like that angled sides that allow you to set them on their sides to "pause" the time without them rolling. They are fairly accurate - nice to use to get away from digital (i.e. cell phone timer.cell phone apps tend to distract me). My only complaint is that the last tiniest bit of sand seems to sometimes stick around the top, but can be tapped down. Our child likes to watch them just before bed. The colors are bright and fun. We bought two sets to get more times and I wish they had a 30 minute timer as well and maybe even a shallow tray to line them up in. Would totally buy these again and again!

Pros
  • Great!
Cons
  • Small size may make it difficult to handle or manipulate
