Description
This lion wooden wall clock gives a child's wall a big, friendly face, with a round orange mane framing a white muzzle, a little black nose and a long yellow tail hanging beneath. The dial sits on the lion's sunny yellow body, marked with clear white numerals from 1 to 12 and a pair of white hands that stand out well against the yellow. The clock is cut from plywood in the shape of the seated lion, so it reads as a flat, graphic picture on the wall rather than a plain round dial. It measures 44.5cm tall, 21.7cm wide and 5cm deep, and weighs 0.318KG.
We think it suits a child's bedroom, nursery or playroom best, where its cheerful colours sit happily alongside bright bedding, picture books and toys. The large white numbers are easy to read at a glance, so it works as a proper everyday clock as well as a piece of wall art. Hang it above a chest of drawers, a desk or a reading corner where little ones can see it clearly. Its warm yellow and orange tones brighten a pale or neutral wall without overwhelming it.
The clock movement is made from plastic and metal and runs on one AA (LR6) battery. The clock hangs from the hook at the top of the mechanism, so a single screw or picture hook on the wall is all it needs. The swinging tail is optional and works independently of the clock: unclip the plastic arm at the back, attach the plywood and metal tail piece that comes in the box, then fit a second AA (LR6) battery. Leave it off for a still clock, or add it for a bit of movement. Dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth to keep the printed plywood looking fresh. It makes a cheerful gift for a new bedroom.

Frequently Asked
How big is the lion wall clock?
It measures 44.5cm tall, 21.7cm wide and 5cm deep, and weighs 0.318KG, so it is a light, slim piece for a child's wall.
What batteries does the clock need?
The clock movement takes one AA (LR6) battery. If you want the tail pendulum to swing, it needs a second AA (LR6) battery of its own.
Do I have to use the pendulum tail?
No, the pendulum is optional and works independently of the clock, so the clock keeps time with or without the swinging tail.
How do I hang the clock?
It hangs from the hook located at the top of the clock's mechanism, so one sturdy screw or picture hook in the wall will hold it.
What is the clock made from?
The clock face is plywood, the movement is plastic and metal, and the pendulum tail piece is made from plywood and metal.
How should I look after it?
Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth now and then, and keep it away from damp, as plywood is best kept dry.
