The Masterkidz sand timers – time becomes visible: 1, 2, 3 and 5 minutes in colourful sand.

This sand timer set is a practical learning aid that turns measuring time into a fun activity. It includes four sand timers – 1, 2, 3 and 5 minutes – on a handy stand. They are great for timed tasks, games, experiments, focus exercises and everyday routines. The colourful sand helps children understand how time passes and makes organising work and play easier. The set is made of durable wood and plastic and suits homes, preschools, schools and therapy rooms. From 3 years.
