In detail
Everything about this product
Two minutes feels long when you are six. The sand timer makes that time visible: your child turns it over when they start brushing, watches the sand run, and knows they are done when it has all gone through. No screen, no battery, no app.
What you get
- 1 sand timer with blue sand, clear acrylic tube
- A smiling tooth in white plastic at each end
- About 7 cm tall and 2 cm wide, according to the supplier’s diagram
Why two minutes
It is the brushing time generally recommended by dentists, morning and evening. The supplier states a 2-minute run; a sand timer is not a stopwatch, so a few seconds either way are possible and make no difference.
Good to know
This model has no suction cup: it stands upright on the edge of the basin or on a shelf. It contains sand: keep it out of reach of toddlers who put everything in their mouths.
