That's The Way To Do It.....!

I must admit to having a bit of a soft spot for Punch & Judy.  I can still remember, as a child, sitting huddled on a windswept beach, at the height of a Scottish 'summer', watching the story unfold, hoping that Mr Punch would get his come-uppance and howling with laughter when Toby Dog stole his sausages and bit him on the nose.

This will be my final Punch & Judy kit collection so I'm going out with a bang..... a complete set of kits to make up this shop window display with contents.




There are eight different elements to the kit, including the wooden window, with its 'That's The Way To Do It!' backdrop and festoons of Union Jack Bunting.  




Inside the window is a selection of Punch & Judy themed toys

Wooden toy theatre complete with a set of 6 puppets





The theatre is a traditional toy version of the famous Punch & Judy theatres so popular at British seaside resorts since the early 1900s.  Made of wood, the theatre has a colourful proscenium and traditional red and white striped exterior, which is decorated with flags and bunting.  On each side there is a vintage illustration.

 The six detailed metal puppets come with a painting guide and can be used either in the theatre or on the shop window shelf.

Boxed games with contents


One of the games features a set of precision cut, double-sided paper dolls. 
 The other contains a vintage card game.

As with all my kits, this complete pack contains everything needed (apart from glue and basic tools) to make the illustrated toys, including full step-by-step illustrated instructions.
In line with my new Rule of Ten, only ten packs will be available and they are now available to order on the website, HERE!
