Review on XINBAOHONG Sand Timers - Set Of 2 For Kids Games, Home, Kitchen, And Classroom Use - 3 Minutes And 10 Minutes Hourglass Timer Clocks by Allan Duman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for kids to visualize time

My sons behavior therapist recommended some sand timers to use as a way to help my son visual his cool down times instead of just telling him you have 5 minutes. I went with the 5 and 15 as I think with a temperamental stubborn kid, you just sometimes need more than 5 for that. My first impressions when I opened the box were WHOA these are solid big timers! My son actually saw them and immedialy seemed excited to play with them for a bit. I honestly think these would be great for classrooms due to the size or even daycares. I actually used a stopwatch to check accuracy and only had about a 3 second discrepancy (over not under) nothing big which is what I wanted to make sure of. I might consider picking up a few extras as gifts for my sons therapist or teachers. In the picture I posted a small timer I got from target compared to these.

Pros
  • So bright and fun! Well made and great for my middle school classes!
Cons
  • Not adjustable to specific time increments
