The Ferris wheel, no music, no scenery: just the joy of building it.
A Ferris wheel with gondolas on its tower and base, in its purest form. No mechanism, no scenery: just the pleasure of the build and a pretty fairground silhouette on your shelf. The wheel turns by hand.
A wooden Ferris wheel for an easy start
You build the base, the two-legged tower, then the wheel and its gondolas, following the illustrated instructions. The build is simple and rewarding: perfect for discovering wooden model kits before moving on to a musical version.
Who is it for? For a first kit, for a teenager, or for anyone who prefers the object to the mechanism.
