Sand Timer Set – 6 Pack (1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min)

Support focus, regulation, and time awareness with this set of six durable sand timers, carefully chosen to help children build independence and manage longer tasks or routines.

From an Occupational Therapy perspective, sand timers are an excellent visual aid to make time more concrete and predictable, especially beneficial for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, or sensory processing challenges who may struggle with transitions or sustained attention.

Each timer provides a visual countdown to assist with:

Time management – Help children understand how long tasks will take and improve planning skills.
Sustained attention – Support longer activity participation such as reading, homework, or therapy exercises.
Self-regulation – Use as part of a calm-down strategy or for structured quiet time. Transitions are less stressful when predictable.
Daily routines – Build consistency for morning and bedtime routines, screen time limits, or shared tasks.

This set includes six timers with longer durations (1, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes), ideal for children who are developing greater attention span and independence.

OT Tip: Allow your child to turn the timer themselves, it increases engagement and gives them a sense of control and predictability over time-based tasks.

Strong, tactile, and engaging, this timer set is perfect for therapy sessions, classrooms, and home environments where structure and routine matter most.
