Educational Benefits

The TickiT ColourBright Sand Timer 5 Minute supports various aspects of early learning:

  1. Maths – Understanding Time: By visually demonstrating the passage of five minutes, the timer provides a practical learning tool for early maths concepts related to time, helping children connect abstract time with a concrete visual.

  2. Understanding the World – Observation Skills: The timer encourages children to observe as they watch the sand fall, building awareness of the movement of time, an important aspect of natural sciences and life skills.

  3. Communication & Language – Reasoning: As children learn to wait, anticipate, and watch for the sand to run out, they also develop reasoning and patience, which can lead to richer communication skills and a greater sense of self-regulation.
