Sand Timer
A calm way to show time
A sand timer is easier to watch than numbers and quieter than a ticking clock. Children understand it instantly, which makes it popular for turn-taking, board games, tooth brushing and quiet work in class.
Choose a ready length such as 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes or set your own. Tap the hourglass to flip it and start again.
Fullscreen and gentle
Open it in fullscreen on a board or a tablet. The end sound is soft, or you can make it silent with a flash. With reduced motion enabled, the sand level changes without animation.
