Description
This build your own pocket blocks set makes a tiny fitted kitchen from small plastic bricks, laid out as a corner run of units under a sunny yellow worktop. White cabinets with pale blue drawer fronts sit beneath it, and a grey extractor hood rises over the hob, printed with a little on and off panel. The oven door drops open, the sink has its own grey tap, and a recycling bin tucks into the corner unit. The detail is what makes it: a pink rice cooker, a clear blender jug, a frying pan, a stack of plates, a salt pot, a fish on a brown chopping board, a cleaver and a spatula. The set measures 8.7cm long, 6.3cm wide and 6.9cm high.
It is a toy made for building and play, and once finished the little kitchen becomes a cheerful miniature for a desk, a windowsill or a bookshelf. Anyone who loves small models and fiddly detail will enjoy fitting it together brick by brick, then setting out the plates and pans just so. The opening oven door and loose accessories mean it can be played with as well as admired, with a croissant baking in the oven and the fish waiting to be prepared.
Every model piece is ABS plastic, and the bricks press together firmly, so the kitchen can be taken apart and rebuilt whenever you like. The pieces come in separate bags with an illustrated step-by-step instruction sheet and a sheet of stickers for the finishing touches. A soft dry cloth keeps dust off it on a shelf, and a damp cloth lifts fingerprints from the bricks. We think it makes a lovely small present for anyone who enjoys a quiet hour of building, and the compact box slips easily into a gift bag.

What colours is the kitchen?
The worktop is a bright yellow and the cabinets are white with pale blue drawer and oven fronts. A grey extractor hood, a brown chopping board and a pink rice cooker add more colour.
How do I keep it clean?
