Retro Yellow Kitchen DIY Miniature House Kit 8 in by Wizardi F07AM7-5-8005

A retro kitchen sits under a peaked glass roof: a rounded yellow fridge with a gingham apron hung on the door, dark green cabinets, a cooker with red and blue pots, a range hood, open shelves of jars and sauces, a white dining table and chair, a lettuce on the chopping board and a little pan and spoons. Switch on the light and it looks like dinner is about to be served.

A little crafter's folklore: miniaturists say a kitchen is the heart of every dollhouse, and many leave one tiny pot on the cooker so the house always smells of home.

Why this kit: if you love cooking or vintage colour, the yellow and green palette makes this room stand out, and its 126 pieces are full of food and utensil details. The clear front keeps the finished kitchen clean.

In the box: pre-cut wooden and plastic parts for the room and furniture, a wooden peaked roof frame, two clear acrylic panels for the roof and front, printed paper sheets for the wall art, signs and packaging, tiny accessories, an LED light with a push-switch base, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries for the light, glue, and tools such as tweezers and scissors.

Part of a connectable room series: line rooms up side by side, stack them, or build an L-shape or a grid to make a whole miniature street or house. Pair it with the Bedroom, Living Room and Bakery Shop rooms. Build tip: assemble the floor and walls first, furnish the room from the back wall forward, then add the roof frame, slide in the clear panels and fit the light last.

Size: 16.5 x 16.5 x 19.5 cm (6.5 x 6.5 x 7.7 in), 1:24 scale, 126 pieces. A cheerful kitchen shelf display, and a gift for home cooks and food lovers. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
