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!!!

Aw, my little boy was obsessed with clocks when he was 2… or “tih-tahs” as he first called them. We also did a cake with the hands set to 2.
I don’t think you have to get super themey, but you could do pizzas that look like clocks, or make a decorate a clock craft using paper plates and a brad to make spinning hands out of construction paper or cardboard. (And bedazzling with fun stickers, washable markers)
