Nobody likes to be 'plucked' out of what they're doing, and this allows the child to understand that he has some more time to do what he's doing, but then we must move on. We rarely have any 'battles'...the deal is, when the sand is all gone, we do what Mommy/Daddy/Grandma said we have to do.Highly recommend for teachers and parents!!!

Great Little Hourglass
I was looking for something with which to time meditation sessions. Something that didn't have a loud alarm. The idea of an hourglass was intriguing. After reading the reviews I wasn't sure how accurate it would be, but decided to give it a try.It turned out to be great for my needs. It's large enough to see easily. The plastic housing protects the glass and it's small and durable enough to pack when traveling. I was very surprised to find that my hourglass is not more than 30 seconds off in timing exact 20 minute intervals! It works perfectly for my purpose!

Timing may not be accurate
I really like the quality of the item. However, I purchased the 50-minute timer and received the 60 -minute one instead. This was not a big deal to me, because I was able to give it to someone else. I will try again to order the 50-minute timer again.

Works
Time was at 50 minutes as advertised. Happy to finally find a 50 minute timer for work. Good so far. Will update if necessary

Love it
It is very soothing to look at, a gentle reminder of the time passing. I use for my psychotherapy sessions.

Great timer but wrong item sent
I loved this timer but ordered the 50-minute timer and received the 30-minute timer instead. So disappointed, had to return it.

Nice design, but not 40 mins
It’s a great sand timer, and I really like how it looks, but when I timed it out it was closer to 50 minutes than 40 which was kindof disappointing

Just Exactly What we Wanted!
Item is just as expected. Attractive and nicely made. We are using it to time 40 minute breaks during meetings.
