SuLiao Hourglass 3 Minute Sand Timer：Colorful Sand Clock, Small Reloj De Arena Three Minutos, Plastic Hour Glass Sandglass for Kids, Games, Classroom, Kitchen, Decor

This is a cool little hourglass! I got it for homeschooling, time management, & the pomodoro technique (check out Jim Kwik). I bought a separate set of hourglass timers as well. I separately got a 30 sec, 1 min., 2 min., 3 min., 5 min., & 10 min. I tested them for accuracy & I got: 30 sec- 32 sec /32 sec 1 min- 58 sec /1:04 min 2 min- 1:57 min /2:04 min 3 min- 2:52 min /2:55 min 5 min- 4:56 min /4:50 min 10 min- 11:36 min /9:08 min The second number is when I flipped it back over. Apparently they are different on each direction. 20 minute timer: I tested this one & got 22 minutes, 20:42 seconds, & 20:39 seconds. The sand does stick to the sides a little (maybe static) & it takes a few seconds to go down after tapping. No big deal for me. For what I'm using them for, their accuracy is perfect. I don't need exact times, just close is great! I love that this timer is glass, with a plastic base (a wood base would be cooler, but I'm happy). I like that the purple color! It is just under 4" long. I like that the kids can see time pass. What 2 minutes, vs 5 minutes, vs 10 minutes, vs 20 minutes...etc. looks & feels like. I want to use my 20 minute hourglass for my daughter's school work, then 5 minutes of play or doing what she likes, & back & forth until the task is done. I've been using a normal kitchen timer for this, & it works great! But I love the hourglasses better! I will also be doing the same technique with my own work to do as well. I love that they don't make noise, don't take batteries, & you can watch them. I saw another review mentioned using them for sharing toys between siblings. I love that idea, I'm going to try that out. Our daughter is 7 & our son is 3 yrs in 2 months. I've flipped this timer about 10 times & it never sticks (which I've seen some reviews mention). The sand flows smooth. The same goes for the other timers I got. They all flow smooth & don't stick. Also, I love to read & am reading about 20 minutes each day so I love the 20 minute hourglass for that. Though I may use the 10 or even the 5 min. timer if I'm short on time or I want more than 20 minutes. Also for things like meditation, where a timer is very noisy & interrupting. Another thing is phone time & You Tube time for us adults. Also, episode watching for my daughter. I obviously know that I'll need to be paying attention & watching the timer for her TV time (until she eventually gets more responsible & gets used to it), but I'm ok with that. (TV isn't much of an issue in our house, as we are very outdoor oriented anyway.) I also see myself using these for any kind of time management for me, my kids or my family. I love these! I'm eventually going to purchase a 30 minute & an hour hourglass!

I liked this so much I bought a second one for my students. They like using it to see how much time is left when playing bridge.

Product works well in my classroom helping with teaching my students.

These are beautiful and accurate, but very fragile glass! (don’t ask me how I know :( )

Perfect for making cookies with an iron.

DO NOT BUY SuLiao timer products. This is the 2nd SuLiao sand timer I have received that does not work. Sand gets stuck in the crux and stops the timer every time its used.

Kids love the colors..Use it to time activities or games. Great for homeschooling
