Gosh, we haven’t watched our stories in ages. Anybody know what Luke and Laura are up to? Let us know. Meanwhile, check out these awesome sand timers! We can’t really call them hourglass timers because they have (3) teardrop-ish clear glass globes instead of (2), giving them a modern—dare we say, contemporary—look. Top and bottom globes are larger, and the middle one doesn’t fill if you’re using it right. The units we tested were +/- 6% of the time. You pick: the 15-minute glass, measuring 8" tall x approx 3-1/4" dia with steel-blue sand; the 30-minute, measuring 9" tall x approx 4" dia with red sand; or the 60-minute, measuring 12" tall x approx 4-1/2" dia with goldenrod yellow sand. Ages 14+.
