Sand Timer, Sand Timers Colorful 1/3/5/10/15/30 Minutes Sandglass Timer with Protective Cover for Classroom Home Office Cooking (Pack of 6) Multicolor

Perfect for what I need and a nice quality product.

I used these in my 4th grade classroom this year for students that struggled with spending too much time on a question and they worked beautifully. The students would grab them when they started the assignment. When the started the first question, they would start the timer. Their goal was to be finished with the question before the timer ran out. When they started the next question they flipped it again. I think they would also work for students that go too fast. They are easy to read and not expensive. I kept them in a bin with some fidget toys for assessments and the students that needed them would grab them. I’m not sure how accurate they are but they helped my student that struggled with time management. She didn’t need to use it on every question, just ones she was stuck on so she had a visual reminder to not spend too much time on a question she was unsure about.

I love this 30 minute timer

These hour glass timers are very nice. They appear to work well. However, the very first day the tops came off of two out of the six timers. Now the sand did not come out, as it is separately enclosed. However, the timers were only treated gently, so this should not have happened. We stuck the lids back on with a glue stick. That did not hold. We tried double stick tape under the two tops that came off, so far it is holding. I am waiting to see if this is a lasting fix or not. Also I am waiting to see if other tops come off. I hope not because I really like these timers!

They are great for my kids 2,3,4 years old they love them. The only not great part is how delicate they are and easily break, this is my second set after having the first on for six months/

I bought this as an easy way to measure the "steep" time for hot tea instead of setting the microwave timer or just guessing. It is convenient to just flip over to time, is accurate, looks cute on the counter and is sturdy. Can't beat simple.

Reasonably accurate. The sand does not always drain 100%, as shown in the photo. The grey is undrained sand.

These multicolor sand timers have turned time management into a game in our household! With six vibrant hourglasses ranging from 1 to 30 minutes, my kids now race against the sand for everything from brushing teeth to finishing puzzles. Each timer is clearly labeled and sized just right for little hands, making it easy for them to pick the right one.

I tried the 30-minute hour glass and timed it with my phone. When I went back to the kitchen to check after 30 minutes, the sand somehow got stuck and the timer didn’t work.

AVERAGE

I really like this 5-minute timer the way it's made and the vibrant blue sand. Sadly though, it's missing 7 or 8 seconds worth of sand (I ran an electronic timer against it to check its accuracy). That is the reason for 4 stars and not 5. Not the seller's fault, but the manufacturer clearly didn't measure the amount of sand required for an accurate 5 minute's duration. It's not hard! 🤷‍♂️ 1 or 2 seconds ok, but not 8.
