Neutral Colourful Sand Timer – A Calming, Visual Tool for Time, Routine & Regulation

Simple, soothing, and purposeful, the Neutral Colourful Sand Timer is an essential early learning resource that supports time awareness, routine building, and emotional regulation—all key elements of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). With its soft, neutral tones and gentle visual movement, this timer blends seamlessly into calm learning environments while helping children understand the passage of time in a tangible and meaningful way.

Ideal for group transitions, independent task timing, or emotional self-regulation, the sand timer encourages self-awareness, independence, and a sense of agency in young learners.

EYLF-Aligned Learning Outcomes:

• Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity
  Using the sand timer helps children take responsibility for their own learning and actions. It fosters independence by giving them visual control over time and routines, supporting their growing sense of identity and capability.

• Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing
  The calming, predictable flow of sand supports self-regulation, mindfulness, and emotional balance. It’s a valuable tool for managing transitions, waiting turns, or calming down during moments of stress.

• Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
  The sand timer promotes focus, persistence, and active engagement by encouraging children to manage tasks within set time frames. It supports learning through routines and enhances the ability to manage time effectively.
