houses to paint

Typical kits include paint and paintbrushes plus decorative extras (stickers, decals). Many kits also provide pre-cut wood pieces, glue, hanging hardware or twine, and a full-color instruction guide.

Acrylic craft paints are commonly included or recommended. Some kits specifically offer multi-surface or metallic acrylic paints formulated for use on wood and similar surfaces.

Kits are commonly labeled for young children with age ranges such as "4 Years and Up," "5 Years and Up," "6 Years and Up," and "8 Years and Up," depending on the product.

Sizes range from very small craft houses up to tabletop pieces. Heights shown in the data run roughly from about 2.0 inches up to about 11 inches; widths and depths vary by design but are typically a few inches up to low double-digit inches depending on the kit.

Finished birdhouses are commonly hung outdoors. Butterfly houses are recommended to be mounted about 2–3 feet off the ground and placed near abundant flowering plants to attract butterflies.
