Summer Courtyard BBQ DIY Miniature House Kit 8 in by Wizardi F07AM7-10-8010

A summer courtyard sits under a peaked glass roof: a wooden garden swing seat under a Play on the Swing sign and trailing vines, a tabletop BBQ grill loaded with skewers, a folding camping chair, a blue cool box of drinks, a camping lantern, an outdoor sink, and two little cats lounging on the cushions. With the light on it feels like a warm evening barbecue.

A little crafter's folklore: miniaturists say a garden scene is never quiet, so they always add a small animal somewhere, and the cats here have clearly claimed the best seat on the swing.

Why this kit: if you love outdoor living and camping, this courtyard brings summer indoors, and at 82 pieces it is one of the easiest rooms in the series. It pairs well with the kitchen for an indoor-outdoor scene.

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 Kitchen, Living Room and Cat Cafe 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, 82 pieces. A cheerful summer shelf display, and a gift for campers, gardeners and barbecue fans. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
