It’s a wonderful feeling to immerse yourself in a build so deeply that you feel like you’re actually there. As soon as I saw this book nook, my first impression was “Wow!”. What a fun theme with lots of little details that help you imagine the smell of popcorn, the of taste creamy ice cream cones, and the smell of cotton candy. I felt like a kid again as I took in the beautiful carousel and the Ferris wheel!
This build was so much fun! It had just the right amount of challenge to it as well. As has become my “thing”, I painted all of the edges. I also added color to the Ferris wheel and other areas, along with metallic gold to the edges of the front of the book nook.
The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The only kink in the road for me was when I added the carousel to the wall. It decided to be a little testy with me while inserting it into the correct slots, but I didn’t let it get the best of me! lol
It always amazes me to see the process of a build end in the most satisfying feeling when I see the finished product! As I was building, I was pleasantly surprised by the little details…from the cute ice cream cart, to the shop window, to the colorful carousel. The lighting is fantastic as well! One touch of the sensor turns all of the lights on, then a second touch triggers the carousel lights to blink as well. Such an awesome feature!
If you’re an experienced builder and you wonder if this kit is too easy…it’s the perfect combination of ease and challenge , but the best thing is that this kit is totally customizable so that you can bring back your own childhood memories of a carnival or amusement park.
