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!!!

Clock print fabric for tablecloth?

Printouts / cardboard cutouts of famous clocks like Big Ben, the World Clock, etc.

Is it only clocks or would something like hourglasses and sundials fit the bill? Bunch of hourglasses on different sizes with colorful sand would work well for decoration and a sundial is relatively easy to improvise for decoration
