How do you help children manage their emotions and transitions without constant reminders?
Our Sand Timers for Calm Corners are a simple yet powerful tool to support emotional regulation, focus, and independence in your classroom. Whether it's calming down after a tough moment or practising patience during group activities, these timers are designed to help children develop essential self-management skills in a visual and engaging way.
Why Sand Timers in the Calm Corner?
- Support Emotional Regulation: The gentle flow of sand offers a visual cue that helps children calm their breathing, focus their thoughts, and reset their emotions.
- Teach Time Awareness: Sand timers give children a clear understanding of time, encouraging them to manage transitions and activities independently.
- Encourage Self-Reflection: Timers provide a structured opportunity for children to pause, think, and reflect on their feelings or actions.
- Reduce Anxiety: The predictable, calming motion of the sand can help children feel grounded during moments of overwhelm.
Perfect for Classroom Use
- Calm Corners: Use sand timers to guide reflection or calming exercises. For example, a 3-minute timer could help a child practise deep breathing or think about how to approach a situation differently.
- Group Activities: Incorporate timers during circle time or small-group work to teach patience and turn-taking.
- Transitions: Timers can mark the end of an activity, helping children adjust and move to the next task smoothly.
