How Children Use It
At tooth-brushing time, the child flips the 3-minute timer — the sand trickles steadily downwards. Reading time uses the 10-minute one. The ‘quiet game’ uses the 30-second timer. Children watch the flow of sand, see the upper chamber empty and the lower one fill. The abstract concept of waiting becomes a visible process. An entire group can each measure their own time simultaneously.
