DIY Cyber Digital Hourglass Kids Timer Toy

DIY Cyber Digital Hourglass for Kids' Games & Gifts

This DIY Digital Cyber Hourglass is an electronic timer toy that turns timekeeping into an engaging activity for children. Combining the familiar shape of a classic hourglass with a glowing dot-matrix display, it visually simulates falling "sand" while showing fun icons like smiley faces and hearts in standby mode. It's suitable as a birthday gift, desk gadget, or timing tool for homework, playtime, and family games.

The hourglass is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery and charges via a Type-C port, providing around 5 hours of continuous operation on a full charge. A side dial switch controls power on/off, while three rear buttons manage all functions: a "function" key for entering time-setting and starting timing, and "+" / "-" keys for adjusting both the timing duration and display brightness. Children can set a timing cycle from 0-20 minutes or use the infinite timing mode, where the hourglass runs continuously until manually stopped.

The DIY element encourages kids to participate in setup and customization, helping them understand how the timer works and how to use it in their daily routine. The cyber-style glow and clear dot-matrix graphics create a modern look that appeals to children interested in technology. Packaged in a color box, it is suitable for single-piece purchase or wholesale, and can be paired with additional gifts or stands when offered by the seller.
