Additional Information

This delightful wooden compass teaches children how to find their way using the position of the sun. Made from lightweight, FSC certified birch plywood with a handy wax cord strap, it’s a fun way to learn a now seldom-taught life skill - how the movement of the sun relates to the time of day and directions.

To use the Sun Compass, children just need to turn the dial to the correct time, then rotate the compass until it’s facing the sun. In that position, it’ll show them North, South, East and West, just like on a magnetic compass.

Made in Wales from FSC certified and responsibly-sourced birch plywood and hand-painted, its simple design means it’s lightweight enough for little hands to take on adventures.

Freckle create simple, sustainable wooden toys that encourage imaginative outdoor play. Founded by friends Chloé and Janine, Freckle is focused on sustainability and minimal environmental impact. All of their products are designed, made and dispatched in South Wales, using sustainable and offcut wood, and local suppliers for materials wherever possible.

This wooden toy is part of our collection celebrating Tate Liverpool’s Radical Landscapes exhibition – carefully chosen products helping you to create and explore your own radical landscape.

This means that if you order these items alongside other shop products, they won’t all arrive together, and you’ll get several deliveries.
