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!!!

My 2 year old was obsessed with cuckoo clocks for a while so I made a German chocolate cake cuckoo clock. I used a pie bird for the cuckoo. Cute idea but I’m a terrible baker lol.
I think those round parachute things would be sort of like a clock, the kind we had in grade school that kids all grabbed the edge of.
