Days of the Week Wheel [EN/NL/DE]

📆 Days of the Week Wheel

This interactive gear-based day display was born from a real need:

“My son kept asking me what day it was — every single morning.”

To help him (and others like him), I designed this playful and educational tool that shows yesterday, today, and tomorrow using a rotating 7-day gear.

By turning the yellow star, the display smoothly advances to the next day. Each day is paired with a unique color, offering visual support and structure for users who benefit from clear daily routines — perfect for classrooms, home environments, or therapeutic settings.
