Customers find these hourglasses to be of good quality and helpful for teaching children about time, particularly noting how they help students stay on track with school work. The timers feature vibrant colors and are visually appealing, with one customer mentioning how the colors make them easy to see from a distance. While some customers find them accurate, others report they’re completely inaccurate, and while they work well, some mention they break easily.

Great item
This item is great, I love these timers and they all appear to measure time perfectly, the size is great as they don’t take up a lot of space, they feel like they are built good and easy to use, for what I paid, it was a good deal.The only complaint I would have, is sometimes the 30 minute one gets clogged but a quick shake will fix that, aside from that, the time is good, they look nice and it’s a good value for getting 6 of them.

So fun and many uses
LOVE these!Pros:-Really cute (They look nice and not like some kid timer)-fun colors (I LOVE that the colors match and are in order of the rainbow with the times-Have the time amount on them (both directions)-Work well-Glass, I think, but seem sturdyCons:-Tey are about 5-10 off… but on the slow side which I think is better. So the 30 min timer is more like 30 min and 10 seconds. The 1 min timer is only about 3 seconds off.

LOVE THESE, great for teaching patience and time, math, fun colors, etc
Bought a second set after two years for my younger daughter. All but one of my older daughters still exist. They are vulnerable if landing on their side. Otherwise durable. Homeschooled both because of the pandemic. Got these for 2nd bday respectively. Great for math, time, stem lesson plans (timing different steps of the projects simultaneously). Beautiful in a *kids room*. Accurate. Great for when someone gets upset and has to sit out for a few minutes. Or timeouts. Great for teaching kids to set healthy boundaries themselves! My oldest is not even 5 yet and she’s in 1st grade. I like to think that her and I had more to do with that then these did but we used them for virtually every other lesson plan until she started school. She still uses them. A million applications for this and it keeps everyone away from phones and screens and beeping devices. They *also* don’t spy on you! Highly recommend

Teach kids about abstract time concepts
My almost 3 year old attends a Montessori school and they’re learning about time concepts. At home, I wanted to reinforce that learning, so I bought these timers.The good:1.) They’re very colorful and attractive to kids2.) The amount of time for each timer is clearly displayed in two places: at the top on the front and on the bottom on the back. The text faces in the correct direction whether direction the hourglass is standing, making them easy for kids and adults to read.3.) They’re a great size to hold in your hand and look closely at to understand how it works and they stand very stable on a flat surface with the black plastic caps on either end.4.) Unlike traditional timers, these don’t make noise or “tick”, making them a great choice for households that need to be quiet and limit sensory stimulation.5.) The hourglass is actually a thicker glass so they feel durable in your hand. While still breakable, children can learn to take special care of breakable objects, so my child is taught to be extra gentle with these.6.) There are 6 time denominations for a variety of uses: washing hands, brushing teeth, counting down a short amount of screen time, how much time is left before we leave for school, etc. The times are broken down into 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min and are printed using a high quality ink that doesn’t scratch off.7.) They’re very affordable and an excellent way to make the very abstract concept of time, more concrete.The bad:1.) There’s extra text next to each of the time numerals on each hourglass. It’s unnecessary and I wish it wasn’t there. It says, “Happy Time 🙂 SandGlass minutes.” These would be perfect if the only text next to each numeral was “minutes” instead. I deducted one star because of this.We love this set of hourglasses and recommend them to any household with curious toddlers, preschoolers and older children.

Easy to use Timers for school work or in the office
We use these at home and when I’m in the office. Great and accurate for the time lengths printed on the hourglasses. The bright colors make them eye catching however not distracting. Really helpful and easy, especially when using in a quiet space.

Some have problems
Most of the hourglasses work fine. After the first 2 weeks, our 5 minute timer will “sputter” and sometimes just stop allowing the sand to pass through. Dissapointing they don’t have an option for any support other than returning the whole box which has long been discarded.

I got these to help my toddler understand time. For this purpose they’re great. The different colours are fun for kids too Anne help understand different amounts of time.They would also be good for using in board games or party games.But don’t use them instead of a clock! Not really very accurate. I haven’t tuned them all, but as an example the 1min timer actually took 71 seconds.

Les sabliers sont en verre.L’un des sablier s’est cassé pendant le transport, mais la boîte semblait intacte. Peut-être devraient-ils emballé ces articles adéquatement pour un transport “fragile”.Ils sont jolis et sont arrivés rapidement.Par contre, je dois les retourner car ils pourraient représenter un danger pour mes jeunes élèves.
