1 Minute Sand Timer | Large Visual Time Management Tool
Introduce a fun and effective way to build time awareness in your early childhood classroom with this 1 Minute Large Sand Timer, thoughtfully designed for preschool, pre-K, and kindergarten learning environments. Standing 6¼" tall, this vibrant timer provides a clear, visual representation of a single minute, making it an excellent tool for helping young children begin to understand short time intervals.
Ideal for quick classroom tasks like handwashing, turn-taking, or brief transitions between activities, this sand timer gives children a visual and tactile way to see time pass—without the distractions of electronic timers or alarms. As the colorful sand flows steadily from top to bottom, children can visually track the time remaining, which helps promote self-regulation, focus, and patience.
Its durable plastic construction ensures it can handle daily use in busy classroom settings, and the bright sand color not only attracts attention but adds a cheerful touch to any learning space. Whether placed on a shelf, table, or center station, this timer is easy to spot and simple for children to use independently.
