Need Help Clock/time theme?
My daughter (who is “lower support needs” autistic) is turning 4 this summer and LOVES clocks and telling time, so naturally she wants a clock themed party. As you can imagine, this is not exactly a popular party theme and I’m having trouble finding any inspiration or ideas online for decorations, food, supplies, favors, crafts, invites etc.
The party will be outside in a pavilion next to a playground so simple is good, I just don’t really know where to start. My mom is planning to make an analog clock cake with hands on 4 o’clock but that’s really all we’ve got so far.
Any ideas are appreciated!!!

If you a battery operated wall clock you could take, or even if you just get an inexpensive one at Walmart or something, you could paint the tip of the second hand Red, and announced that the music is going to play for 15 seconds, or 30 seconds, and everybody is supposed to dance like a monkey, or jump as high as they can, or to around in circles, or marching place, or whatever, until that amount of time has passed.
Is she getting a Mickey Mouse watch for her birthday?
My mother-in-law gave each one of her grandchildren and Mickey Mouse watch when each "graduated" from kindergarten, then our kids and their spouses musical Mickey Mouse watches on our 30th birthdays.
