My husband and toddler daughter had fun building the birdhouse on father's day. I was more amazed when a week later a bird actually built a nest inside the house.

This was a lot of fun to build with my 6 year old. All the holes are pre-drilled and for the most part the holes line up pretty efficiently. I had to have my husband help a few times to get the nails in. My son is excited to paint it and hang it outside.

Our daughter REALLY wanted to build a birdhouse. This kit was really easy to put together and we painted it and hung it in our tree. We've had it up for months and it is holding up really well. Just waiting for a bird family to move in.

This was a ton of fun to build with my daughters. The one thing I didn't do is test the paint for lead after we painted it. After all, it was made in China and you have to wonder about such bright colored paints. If anyone has a lead testing kit, it would make some sense to check the paint.

I bought 2 of these kits for my kids that wanted to build bird houses. I would not recommend this product to anyone. The pieces fit very poorly and some of the wood was warped (both kits). I really should have taken some pictures before I threw them away. 1 of the kits was missing a couple nails, the other kit was missing one of the hooks for the chain. The kits are also REALLY small when put together, so if you are expecting birds to live in it I hope you have really small birds where you live.

I wound up going to a local craft store and picking out a better, larger kit for the same price.

Easy to put together, sturdy, easly to paint, still hanging on porch after 2 years. The paint is a outdoor paint I think because it has held up nicely in the elements. I have seen other bird houses at craft stores that are similar but I must say this is great for the price. My 2nd grader loved it.

This is a cute bird house assembly project suitable for young children aged 4-7 years, although they will need an adult to assist with the actual assembly (wood glue and nailing are required). I found a few of the assembly directions to be incorrect. However, the overall configuration of the pieces, along with the finished picture on the box, provides sufficient information to put this bird house together.

Purchased kits for my son's cub scout requirement. Instructions are
A bit off, but easy and fun for 7-8 year olds. Make sure an adult is there to read
Instructions.

Bought for 13-year-old girl scouts to put together by themselves. Worked okay. They were able to follow instructions. Some of the holes did not line up perfectly. Small nails hard for them to nail in completely. For what we wanted, it sufficed.

I bought 3 for our cub scout group, ages 8. It was fairly easy to put together, but the instructions could have been a bit easier and needed an adult to explain to the boys on how to do it. With a little adult help, the boys were able to put together the birdhouse and had a lot of fun just hammering things together. We did not have time to color the birdhouse and send the paint home with them.
