Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Tickit ColourBright Sand Timer requires no setup; simply place it on a flat, stable surface to begin using. It is compatible with all age groups over 3 years old and is part of a wider color-coded system from TickiT. To care for the timer, wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth if dust accumulates on the outer plastic casing. Do not submerge the timer in water or subject the plastic barrier to extreme heat, as this may compromise the structural integrity of the outer shell.
