Wooden Solar Clock Construction Kit Double-Sided Dial for Summer and Winter Height 13 cm With Compass Educational STEM Toy for Children
You already have the maximum available quantity in your cart.
The solar clock construction kit is a practical educational tool that allows children to assemble a functional model of a historical timekeeper. The model features a double-sided dial that demonstrates timekeeping in both summer and winter. All parts are laser-cut from wooden boards, making them easy to pop out and assemble according to the illustrated instructions. The finished model stands at a height of 13 cm and, thanks to its small base, fits on a windowsill, desk, or school bench. The kit combines fun with physics and astronomy, making it suitable for curious children and parents who wish to explain science practically.
While assembling, children will learn why the shadow moves throughout the day and how the Earth's movement around the Sun affects the reading on the dial. The circular scale features 24 hours, and the discs with traditional Chinese characters remind us of how ancient civilisations measured time. The set also includes a small compass that adheres to the base, helping to orient the clock correctly towards the north. Assembly is reportedly simple and requires no tools, yet it exercises fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and patience.
- Type – solar clock model kit for self-assembly
- Dial – double-sided for summer and winter with a 24-hour scale
- Material – wood with laser-cut parts
- Dimensions of the finished model – height 13 cm and base 9 x 7 cm
- Recommended age – children from 6 years
- Assembly – simple and tool-free according to illustrated instructions
- Uses – school teaching, homework, scientific projects, and competitions
- Contents of the package – 4 wooden boards with pre-cut parts, 1 compass, 1 long and 1 short metal axle, 1 double-sided adhesive tape, and 1 axle clamp
Carefully pop the parts out of the boards and assemble them step by step according to the numbering on the boards. Place the finished model on a flat sunny surface, orient it using the compass, and observe where the shadow of the axle points. Protect the wood from rain and prolonged moisture; therefore, the model is more suited for indoor use or on a covered balcony. Dust can be wiped off with a dry cloth.
The wooden solar clock is an interesting project for science lessons, clubs, and shared afternoons with parents and children. The kit creates a functional model that, once assembled, shows the time based on the Sun's position. The compass included makes proper setup easier, allowing children to verify how the shadow moves across the dial. This construction kit is an excellent gift for young scientists and a supplement to astronomy education. For those wishing to explain how people measured time before the invention of watches, this provides a clear and educational tool for the whole family.
