The fun pun clock with Colour uses colour to help children develop a natural awareness of time. Inspired by the circular “pie chart” nature of an analogue clock, the dial divides each hour into four gentle segments, allowing children to understand time in manageable 15-minute intervals and gradually learn to organise their own schedule.

White spaces at 0, 15, 30, and 45 minutes create natural visual pauses on the dial, encouraging children to reset their focus before moving on to the next activity.

The colour palette was developed in collaboration with interior paint specialist Colourworks, selecting harmonious combinations from their finely blended pigments. The soft, muted tones bring a calm and friendly presence to a child’s room while blending comfortably with modern interiors.

Designed by Yoko Dobashi, the clock reflects a parent’s perspective together with insights from educational specialists. Framed in environmentally conscious plywood, the design balances thoughtful functionality with a warm, graphic character.

• Size: φ 203 x D48 mm

Both practical and beautifully designed, the fun pun clock with Colour helps children learn to read time while adding gentle colour to everyday living. It also makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, new homes, or growing families.
