"The past comes to life as you cut out and assemble this delighful model of an old-fashioned village shop. Hours of creative enjoyment can be had both in making and in playing with this recreation of a typical general store of the early part of the 20th century, in which every piece is authentic down to the tiniest detail. OUR VILLAGE SHOP is a red-brick, open-fronted store, complete with counters, a sub-post-office, a wide variety of provisions ranging from fruit and vegetables to rugs and laundry baskets (each with its own price tag), and even shop assistants and customers. This charming model is easy to assemble by following the step-by-step instructions. (Young children may need help from an older child or adult.) Every part is clearly labeled and simple diagrams show exactly what to do. All you need are glue, scissors, a ruler, and nimble fingers. The shop is made of sturdy cardboard, and when assembled stands 9" high x 12" wide x 7 1/2" deep.
