Product Description
Step through the factory gates and into the wonderfully wonky world of Willy Wonka. 🍫🎩✨
Bring one of Roald Dahl's most-loved stories to life with the Build Your Own 'Charlie & The Chocolate Factory' Book Nook – an intricate, screen-free construction kit inspired by the unforgettable illustrations of Quentin Blake.
This gift is perfect for any curiously creative child, and ideal to bundle with the other 2 titles in this range.
Simply press out the pre-cut cardboard pieces and slot them together to create a wonderfully detailed miniature scene designed to sit between books on a shelf. There's no glue, no mess and no plastic just the rather satisfying business of watching Wonka's extraordinary chocolate factory gradually appear.
Look closely and there's plenty to discover. Willy Wonka, kind-hearted Charlie Bucket and Augustus Gloop are joined by mysterious Oompa-Loompas, the famous flowing chocolate river, a hidden golden ticket and more little details drawn from Roald Dahl's deliciously imaginative tale.
The design celebrates Quentin Blake's original artwork, giving the finished model all the eccentric character and energy generations of readers associate with Roald Dahl's stories.
And once the building is finished, this isn't something destined for the craft cupboard. With its beautiful fabric-effect cover, gold foil and debossed detailing, the completed book nook has the feel of a special illustrated volume – a wonderfully unusual piece of bookshelf décor for children's rooms, family libraries and lifelong Roald Dahl fans.
Designed for ages 8+, it's particularly lovely as a project to build together. Younger constructors can join in with adult help, making it a brilliant rainy-day, weekend or Christmas holiday activity that combines creativity, problem-solving and STEM learning with the joy of a really good story.
Proudly designed in the UK, it's made using 100% sustainable cardboard, contains zero plastic, and both the kit and packaging are fully recyclable.
A brilliant gift for young readers, creative children and anyone who has ever wished they could find a Golden Ticket of their own.
A little hop, skip and a jump straight into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. 💛

🍫 A Story Worth Building
Few children's books create a world quite as vivid as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This clever construction kit gives children the chance to do something rather special with that story build their own little piece of it.
We particularly love the combination of reading and making. Spotting familiar characters and details from the book encourages children to revisit the story, while constructing the scene introduces the satisfaction of creating something slowly and carefully with their own hands.
And unlike many craft kits, the finished project is only the beginning. Pop it onto the bookshelf between favourite stories and it becomes a miniature doorway back into Wonka's extraordinary world.
