London Street Scene DIY Music Box Kit 5 in by Wizardi F07AM15-7-68122

A golden-roofed London building with a clock on its corner holds a busy street scene: a red double-decker bus marked London drives along the front beneath a tall clock tower, a coffee shop and a red phone box sit upstairs, and a figure waits at the window. Wind the crank and the music plays while the scene turns.

A little crafter's folklore: Londoners say the clock tower's chime keeps the whole city on time, and miniaturists like to wind this box up on the hour.

Why this kit: if you love London, this music box packs the bus, the clock tower and a cosy cafe into a little wind-up scene with a warm light.

In the box: laser-cut wooden sheets for the music box case and the scene, printed figure and sign pieces, a wind-up music movement with a crank handle that turns part of the scene, an LED light, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries for the light, glue and small tools such as tweezers.

Part of the DIY Music Box series: five wooden scene boxes of the same footprint, each with its own tune, a turning element and a warm light. Build tip: assemble the case and fit the music movement first, test the crank before closing the back, then add the scene layers and smallest decorations last. Pair it with the Relaxing Coffee Shop, Forest Greenhouse Flower and Magic Clock music boxes, or the London Streets Retro TV.

Size: about 10.7 x 7.3 x 13.2 cm (4.2 x 2.9 x 5.2 in), 69 wooden pieces. A charming shelf or desk piece that plays a tune when you wind it, and a thoughtful gift. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
