Mrs. Hunt Bakery DIY Miniature House Kit 8 in by Wizardi F07M51-95-GB401

A terracotta bakery front under a Mrs. Hunt Bakery sign crowned with a golden loaf: an opening green door and big windows show shelves of baguettes, boules, croissants and buns, jars of jam and honey, baskets of rolls and bags of flour, with a carved counter and a warm glow throughout the shop.

A little crafter's folklore: bakers say bread baked with care rises highest, and miniaturists like to put one loaf in the basket by the door.

Why this kit: if you love bakeries, this wide shopfront is warm and full of tiny loaves, ending a row of books with a cosy glow.

In the box: pre-cut wooden pieces for the shopfront, opening door and interior, printed paper details, miniature furniture and tiny accessories, an LED light with a touch switch and a hidden battery case, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries, glue and small tools such as tweezers.

Part of a wide shopfront series made to stand at the end of a row of books like a glowing bookend, each with an opening door: pair it with the Corner Coffee Shop or Blossom Florists. Build tip: build the back rooms and shelves first, fill them with the tiny goods using tweezers, close the shopfront and fit the touch-switch light last.

Size: 21 x 13 x 17 cm (8.3 x 5.1 x 6.7 in). A warm bookshelf display and a lovely gift. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
