Encourage children to explore time, sunlight and direction with this compact wooden sundial and compass. Designed for forest school activities, nature walks and outdoor learning sessions, it offers a simple, hands-on way to introduce children to how people have used the position of the sun to estimate time for thousands of years.
The foldable design opens to create a traditional sundial and closes down small enough to fit inside a pocket, backpack or forest school kit bag. An integrated compass helps children position the sundial and introduces basic navigation skills, making it a useful educational resource for lessons covering the natural world, shadows, the movement of the sun and the four compass directions.
Ideal for schools, forest school leaders, Scouts, outdoor clubs and home education, this children’s sundial can be used during woodland walks, seasonal observations, science activities and nature-based learning sessions.
