Social and emotional development as the bubble hourglass supports children to identify and manage transitions within the daily routine and have a greater sense of control.
Suggested starting points for engagement:
- An hourglass can be used to support an individual child who may need a visual representation during transitions between activities during the daily routine.
- A child with a particular interest, focus or challenge within the daily routine may find the visual representation of time helpful and the liquid motion of the hourglass can have a calming effect and reduce stress or anxiety.
- The bubble hourglass can be used by individual children as a visual aid to help maintain attention, focus and as a sensory experience in itself.
- Consider other materials that can be used to make similar sensory objects such as water bottles containing glitter, oil and photographs.
