"In a minute!" "Hang on a sec!" "Just a moment more..... " How many times do your kids hear these words?? Mine?? All the time :) Mostly, they have no concept of time, they know that if I say "in a minute", its usually longer than " just a sec". And thats about as far as it goes. Today, I wanted them to see time "move" so to speak. And so I gathered the things I would need to make a sand timer. To begin with, Amahli and I had to sift the sand to rid it of the big lumps. Jared then helped the thump holes in two lids, making them match over each other. We filled one jar with sand and sealed the lids to the jars. We added glue gun to seal. (NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION. Dont ask me how I know. Just trust me. You need a really stong gorilla grip glue to hold these jars together) We then wrapped them in ribbon (Also should have been a more secure twine maybe) I then let him turn it over... and we watched the sand trickle through the glass. They thought this was so cool! We talked about how long it took to all pass through the holes, the patterns the sand made, that we couldnt really speed it up, that it flowed at the same pace every time. I then used it to time things around the house... it takes Jared 6 laps of the backyard for one sand cycle. It takes Amahli two sand cycles to go to the toilet and get dressed ( it would have taken one cycle but she panicked at being timed and thus chucked a wobbly mid cycle which lasted half a sand cycle). But mostly, they just enjoyed watching time pass :)

This is a set of 3 Wine glasses turned into Candle holders. Inside Wine glasses are colored sand and real seashells. The color blue in main pictures I am having trouble getting but I have other color options. See pictures. Update on colors- Some colors not available anymore or changed. I have light blue, dark blue, medium blue(which is mixture of light and dark blue), natural color, black, white, red, light turquoise and turquoise (which is a turquoise I created ). If wish for a different color then send me message I will see what I can do. The glasses have twine wrapped around them. This set comes with candles included. The candles also have twine around them. This set would make a nice beach centerpiece/decor. Would also be great for a beach wedding centerpiece. I can do any custom/occasion/holiday set, just message me. Candles are not attached. Glasses may vary slightly in shape and style. Sizes including candles-- Tallest approximately 12 inches tall. Medium and smallest approximately 10 inches tall. If you do get any broken items, I will send replacement at no charge. I get a lot of questions about how the sand and shells are held in the glasses. I will tell you there is a bottom which is sealed tight. And yes it does get messed up in the shipping but all you have to do is shake and swirl sand and shells around till the seashells come to the surface. It's kinda addictive.
