This was a super fun activity to do with my boys. I did most of the "building" part of it, but they loved painting it. The whole activity took up most of an afternoon. Recommended for kids 4-6.

This is a fantastic project to do with your kids. My son is 4 and he enjoyed painting the pieces and then helping me assemble the house. It comes with everything you need to assemble minus a screwdriver. It is not the most perfect of birdhouses but it definitely works and is an easy but fun project.

Daughter loved this! Her and her daddy built it in less than 10 min and she enjoyed painting it! Great quality materials too!
Good idea, poor execution.

Loved the idea and the cuteness of it. The holes did not always line up meaning it was difficult for me as an adult to put together let alone a kid, big gaps so not really good for outside! Good idea, poor execution.
Really cute

This is so cute! My 4 year old had so much fun putting this together with Dad. It’s nice and sturdy, and we can’t wait to hang it up. My only complaint would be that the paintbrush is really tiny, and there isn’t a lot of paint. My 4 year old quickly lost interest (I was shocked ha) in painting it. I plan to buy some more paint and a better brush so he can finish it.

No Holes on One Piece, Pieces Cut Wrong

I bought this product largely as a toy as opposed to a fully functional birdhouse. However, there is no way to assemble it. One of the pieces doesn't have any screw holes at all and is cut to an incorrect size and unusable. For the other pieces, none of the screw holes line up. The wood is very poorly sanded and is dangerous to have around small children. I know it's not terribly expensive but at the very least, it should be able to be assembled.

My 7 year old granddaughter made this as soon as she got it with only a little help from mommy. It is durable, colorful and easy to put together. If I was a bird, I would move in
I am considering order it again for another granddaughter.

Super pleased with the outcome but a bit tough to assemble even with help, my toddler loved painting it and watching it come together so it was worth it!
Fun to put together and paint.

Excellent for the birds to build their nests in. Has open slots on edges for air to circulate keeping the temperature from getting to high but keeping the rain out. Birds love it!
just what we were looking for

My four year old really loved doing this project. added some sealant and caulking on the roof to make it a little more water tight, hopefully some birds will eventually take to it out on the tree!

I thought this was an easy and simple craft. Both kids enjoyed painting it, easy to put together, and is already hung up. I haven’t seen any birds but we did it more as a craft.
Great project

Loved this kit! We purchased two for a 5 and 3 yos to do. There were zero problems putting it together, if you can work a screwdriver you shouldn’t have problems (note, the gaps in the wood are SUPPOSED to be there and this is a project that absolutely will require adult assembly and help if it’s for a small child).
We painted the sides first, put it together and then painted the roof. Still looking for the perfect place to hang it but hopefully by spring we’ll have our first guests.
Highly recommend!
Great Craft!

The birdhouse was great! Enough paint to paint more than the leaves, and very easy to build.

Thare are really big gaps between the boards. Screws have blunt tips. Cheap paint. My grandfather said he is ashamed to give this to the birds

Way too difficult for a child to do. My grandchildren were very disappointed. the holes were too small for the screws and did not align properly. the base was too small . We had to open the holes up with an awl before even being able to attempt getting the screws in. I definitely would not recommend this product.

Screws had blunt tips and would not screw into pre-drilledholes. Wood split . Threw into garbage before painting but note that paintbrush is crude and inadequate. Do not recommend. Waste of money and effort.
