A family in Rendlesham are celebrating after the Lego set they designed was revealed to be hitting the shelves next month.
Ben Alder created a Winnie the Pooh themed set with the help of his kids Joshua and Elsie back in 2019 as part of the Lego Ideas project.
The project allows members of the public to submit their own creations that Lego can then choose to make into a full product.

To attract Lego s attention the Alder family s design needed to get 10,000 votes from other Lego fans, which it quickly reached.
Lego Botanical Collection designed to aid creativity and stress relief in adults
The Lego Group has released its decorative Botanical Collection, comprising Flower Bouquet and Bonsai Tree sets for green-fingered and plant-loving adults looking for simple, mindful activities to help them destress and tap into their creativity.
Both sets in the new Botanical Collection include a number of elements made from plant-based plastic, produced using sustainably-sourced sugarcane. While many people seek out green spaces to destress and relax, adults can now bring a touch of nature into their home and unwind as they create and customise their botanical builds … And the great news is that Lego plants don’t need to be watered to stay fresh, the company said in a statement.
