3 Minute TIMERS W/Colored Sand - Toys - 12 Pieces

using them at work sings for 3min handwashing duration timers. They are easily cleaned and cheap enough that they don't walk, and if they do, they are easily replaced.

these came as ordered, all had the same amount of sand (which was colored as pictured!) All times about 3 minutes, none were broken and came in excellent condition! Only thing is I got blue sandtimers instead of the orange which was cool with me because it didn't really matter. Overall really awesome and if I ever needed 12 sand timers again (which I wont because I now have 12) I'd re buy these.

I am a teacher and get these to use in my classroom for games and timing turns. I have never actually timed how long it takes to empty because it doesn't really make too much of a difference for what I'm using it for, but it definitely seems shorter than 3 minutes, it seems more like 1 min (which is good for my purposes). I like that they are colorful and small (easy to store). I took a star off because of the timing inaccuracy and a few have broken on me before where the sand spills out into the whole tube, but this was after some probably rough use from a lot of kids. These are a really good deal considering that the large plastic sand timers like they sell at lakeshore are over $10 each.

I use them in my classroom. They are durable. The kids like to choose their colors. They came quickly and work well.

I needed 12 three-minute timers that would work, so I bought 12 of these (colored sand), and 12 of the ones with white sand. 1 of these had sand get stuck, so it was useless. 2 of the ones from THIS set were about 15 seconds too long (and one ran for 3:30!), and another 3 from THIS set were about 15 seconds short. I was using them for a tea, so timing wasn't critical. They are very VERY cheap looking, but they are also very cheap. :-)

I invested in these timers because I figured they would be resourceful and assisting me time my sprints. I bought some string and made a necklace so that I could easily access the timer. I quickly realized how incredibly hard it is to count the sand in the bottom of the timer once finished with your Sprint to calculate what your time was. There should be a digital sand counter installed in these to make it more practical in application.

Great price on fun items - don't know about the accuracy of these, but I don't care, they're just fun for games or party gifts.

got these to complement my Pictionary game, to be able to use a different color for each team/player. but it does not work as a real time measurement as every one lasts different than the other... more than that... the difference between the shortest and the longest duration is about 3 times... lots of fun, but not accurate.
