What's in the Box

Red plastic heart-shaped clock pendant
Gold chain

This Wizard of Oz Tin Man Heart Necklace brings the most famous prop from the classic story right to your costume — the red heart with a clock face that the Tin Man receives from the Wizard. A standout accessory for Book Week parades, school productions of The Wizard of Oz, or any Dorothy and friends dress-up day.

The heart pendant features a white clock dial with Roman numerals and decorative hands, framed in gold-tone trim. Five white daisies with yellow centers are spaced along the gold chain, echoing the yellow brick road journey and poppy field scenes. The clock face is purely decorative — this is a costume prop, not a working timepiece. Safety pin at the top lets you wear it as a draped necklace or pin it securely to a silver-painted costume.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: An instant visual cue for L. Frank Baum's classic story — pairs with silver face paint and a funnel hat for the full Tin Man look, or wear it solo as a nod to the tale.

School Productions & Nativity Plays: Lightweight and stage-visible, with the red heart readable even from the back row. Pin it to a cardboard box costume or a silver hoodie for quick character recognition.

Wizard of Oz Themed Parties: Group costumes made easy — Dorothy carries the basket, Scarecrow gets the straw hat, and Tin Man wears the heart. This accessory completes the ensemble without needing full body paint.

How to Wear It

Pin it to the chest of a silver painted costume, or drape the chain around the neck and let the heart hang front and center. Pair with silver face paint and a cardboard funnel hat for classic Tin Man styling — the daisy chain adds a whimsical touch without extra effort.

Parent FAQs

Q: Is this a real working clock?

A: No — the clock face is decorative only, a costume prop that represents the Tin Man's heart from the story. Perfect for dress-up but not for timekeeping.

Q: Can my child wear this over regular clothes?

A: Yes — the safety pin attachment lets you pin it to any shirt or hoodie, or drape the chain as a necklace. No costume change required if you're adding it to everyday clothes for a quick Book Week outfit.

Q: How do I secure it so it doesn't fall off during the school parade?

A: Use the safety pin to attach the top of the chain to the costume fabric — pin through both the chain loop and the garment for a firm hold. Test it with a gentle tug before heading out.

Q: Does this work for a Wizard of Oz school play?

A: Absolutely — the red heart and clock face are instantly recognisable even from a distance, and the lightweight design won't weigh down a young actor during rehearsals or performances.

Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth; store flat to prevent chain tangling.
