Nebula Star Academy Study DIY Book Nook Kit 9 in by Wizardi F07M5-47-RK02

A dark-wood star study of a magic academy: a spiral staircase links two levels of bookshelves, a brass telescope points out of a round window onto a misty night, an owl perches by hanging glass vials and a wall clock, and a young wizard reads among stacks of spellbooks lit by candle lamps. The side panel is a deep blue starry illustration of a wizard drifting on a crescent moon among potion bottles.

A little crafter's folklore: stargazing wizards say each star in the sky marks a spell someone has cast, and miniaturists like to switch this nook on to count them.

Why this kit: if you love wizard schools and starry skies, this study is full of magical props, with a dust cover to keep it clean and a touch-switch light.

In the box: laser-cut wooden sheets for the book nook case and the multi-level scene, printed figures, signs and side-panel artwork, tiny props, an LED light with a touch switch and battery box, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries, glue and small tools such as tweezers.

Part of the Wizardi storybook book nook series in the same tall upright case, made to stand between your books like a lit volume of its own, so shops, homes and fantasy rooms line up on one shelf. Build tip: build the scene floor by floor from the bottom up, route the light wire as you go and test the touch switch before closing the side panels, then add the roof details last. Pair it with the Flame Dragon Academy Study, its warm red companion.

Size: 11 x 18 x 23 cm (4.3 x 7.1 x 9.1 in). A statement bookshelf insert that glows between your books at night, and a memorable gift for readers. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
