Hey there, little buddy! Do you know what an hourglass is? It's a really cool and fun way to tell time!

Imagine you have a special toy that looks like two little cups stuck together, one on top of the other. These cups are called "bulbs." They're made of glass and are kind of like tiny, clear balloons. Inside the bulbs, there's some magic sand.

When you turn the hourglass upside down, the sand starts to fall from the top bulb to the bottom bulb. It's like a little sand waterfall! The sand takes some time to move from the top to the bottom.

When all the sand has moved to the bottom, it means a certain amount of time has passed. For example, if it takes one minute for all the sand to fall, then it's a one-minute hourglass.

Hourglasses come in different sizes. Some are small and take just a few minutes for the sand to fall, while others are big and take a long time, like an hour.

People used hourglasses a long time ago before we had clocks and watches. They were very helpful for telling time when they were sailing on ships or cooking food. If you're also interested in an hourglass, follow the nine steps below to learn how to draw it out!
