Description
This cheerful owl wall clock brings a friendly face to a child's room, cut from plywood into the shape of a wide-eyed owl. Big white eyes, purple ears and a small orange beak sit above a turquoise body with blue wings. The dial is set into the owl's tummy, with clear white numbers from 1 to 12 and two white hands. It is 43.5cm tall, 21.8cm across and 5cm deep, so it reads well from across the room without crowding a wall, and at just 0.35KG it is light to hang.
We think it suits a nursery, a child's bedroom or a playroom, where its bold colours and simple shape sit happily alongside bright bedding, prints and toy storage. The numbers are large and evenly spaced around the dial, so the time is easy to read at a glance, whether from the bed, the desk or the doorway. It would bring the same cheerful note to a family hallway or a bright landing. Because it is a clock rather than an ornament, it makes a useful present for a child's room, the kind of thing that earns its place on the wall every day.
The face is plywood, the movement is plastic and metal, and the tail pendulum is plywood and metal. The clock hangs from the hook at the top of its mechanism and runs on one AA (LR6) battery. The swinging tail is optional and works independently of the clock. To use it, unclip the plastic arm at the back, attach the tail piece that comes in the box and fit a second AA (LR6) battery. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp. Hang it at a height a child can see from bed, and pair it with soft blues and greens for a calm, happy room.

Frequently Asked
How big is the owl wall clock?
It is 43.5cm tall, 21.8cm across and 5cm deep, and it weighs 0.35KG, so it is easy to hang and reads clearly across a room.
What batteries does the clock need?
The clock movement runs on one AA (LR6) battery. If you choose to use the swinging tail pendulum, it needs a second AA (LR6) battery of its own.
Do I have to use the swinging tail?
No, the pendulum is optional and works independently of the clock. To use it, unclip the plastic arm at the back, attach the tail piece from the box and fit its battery.
How does the clock hang on the wall?
It hangs from the hook at the top of the clock's mechanism, so it sits flat against the wall from a single suitable fixing.
What is the owl clock made of?
The clock face is plywood, the movement is plastic and metal, and the tail pendulum is plywood and metal, giving a light, sturdy wooden clock.
How should I look after it?
As good practice for painted plywood, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp so the colours stay bright.
