Full details
The Tickit ColourBright Sand Timer is a versatile 30-second visual tracking tool designed for educators, parents, and professionals who need a simple way to manage short-duration tasks. Featuring a durable, shatterproof plastic housing, it is ideal for quick activities like hand-washing, turn-taking, or focus exercises, though its fixed 30-second duration makes it unsuitable for longer project management needs.

Yes, the glass bulb is fully enclosed within a shatterproof, heavy-duty plastic exterior designed to withstand impacts.
Can I use this for cooking?

Are there other colors available?

Troubleshooting
Sand flow is interrupted or stops mid-cycle
Gently tap the side of the plastic housing to dislodge any stuck sand grains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
There is no setup required for this product. Simply place it on a flat, stable surface. To start the timer, quickly flip it upside down.
Compatibility:
This timer functions as a standalone tool. It is part of the broader Tickit ColourBright range, meaning it can be paired with other duration timers (1-minute, 5-minute, etc.) for more complex classroom sequences.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe clean with a damp, soft cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that may scratch the clear plastic housing.
- Store in a dry environment to prevent any potential clumping of the internal sand due to humidity.
