Amazing Toys Store II DIY Book Nook Kit 7 in by Wizardi F07M5-66-MF04

A red and gold circus-style arch reading Amazing Toys Store frames a little toy theatre: a tall nutcracker cabinet holds tiny toys, a magician's hat sprouts rabbit ears, a chest of treasure glows beside a gear-driven toy machine and balloons, and a red dragon is painted on the inside of the door. The front opens on two sliding doors, and a touch switch lights the scene.

A little crafter's folklore: toymakers say every toy waits for the shop to close before it comes to life, and miniaturists like to slide the doors open after dark.

Why this kit: if you love toy shops and whimsy, this edition adds sliding doors and a theatre-style front, with a warm glow inside.

In the box: laser-cut wooden sheets for the book nook case and the layered shop interior, printed figures, signs and backdrop pieces, tiny props, an LED light with a touch switch and hidden battery box, an opening front door, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries, glue and small tools such as tweezers.

Part of a magical street-shop book nook series in the same 11.5 x 10 x 17 cm case, so the Soul Travel Agency, Darkness Herbarium, Fantasy Plant Shop and Amazing Toys Store line up into a little enchanted street between your books. Build tip: build the shop interior from the back panel forward, route the light wire as you go and test the touch switch before closing the side walls, then fit the roof crest and door last.

Size: 11.5 x 10 x 17 cm (4.5 x 3.9 x 6.7 in). A bookshelf insert that glows between your books at night, and a memorable gift for fantasy readers. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
