Product Information
Full details
The TickiT ColourBright Sand Timer is a robust, visual time-management tool designed for parents, teachers, and professionals looking to improve productivity or routine compliance. It excels at helping children visualize time passing through smooth, calming sand flow, making it ideal for tasks like teeth brushing, tidy-up sessions, or focused work intervals; however, as an analog device, it does not provide an audible alert when time expires, requiring the user to remain visually aware of the timer.

FAQs
Is the TickiT Sand Timer dishwasher safe?
No, this product should not be submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher. Clean only with a damp, soft cloth.
Can children under 3 years old use this?
This product is recommended for children 3 years and older due to small parts and the glass interior, even though it is protected by a shatterproof casing.
Does it make a sound when the sand runs out?
No, this is a purely visual tool and does not emit any sound or alarm.
Is the inner glass replaceable?
No, the glass bulb is sealed within the shatterproof plastic housing for safety and durability.
Are there different colors for different durations?
Yes, TickiT offers a range of colors and durations, and each is color-coded to make identification easy.
Troubleshooting
Sand flow is interrupted or stops
Gently tap the side of the plastic casing to dislodge any sand particles that may have clumped due to moisture or static.
Timer appears to be moving slower than expected
Ensure the timer is placed on a perfectly level surface. Tilted surfaces can affect the sand flow rate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the TickiT ColourBright Sand Timer; simply place the unit on a flat, stable surface. The timer is ready to use immediately out of the box. To maintain the device, wipe the plastic exterior with a clean, damp cloth if dust accumulates. While the outer casing is shatterproof, avoid dropping the unit from significant heights to preserve the integrity of the internal glass bulb. The timer is suitable for children 3 years and older. For the best experience, ensure the timer is placed at eye level during activities to maximize the visual impact of the sand flow.
