What it is
The Giant 3-Min Sand Timer is a large-format sensory timer whose sand runs for exactly three minutes. It's the longest of our short lengths (1, 2 and 3 min), made for tasks that call for a bit of perseverance. It makes time concrete and visible, with no screen and no stressful beep. At $19.99, it gives a child a clear cue to hold on until the end.
Three minutes is the ideal length for a proper tooth-brushing, quiet time, or a calm-down exercise after a meltdown.
Who it's for
Perfect for children with ADHD who struggle to sustain effort, and for those with autism who feel reassured watching the end approach. Watching the sand fall also has a hypnotic, calming effect that helps lower the pressure.
- At home: time tooth-brushing or a reading stretch.
- In class: frame a longer individual activity.
- In therapy: support a long breathing exercise.
Sturdy, battery-free, with colourful sand that's pleasant to watch. Suitable from age 3. Sold individually; wholesale by the case of 2.
