Young Builder March Project: Build a Bird Feeder at HomCo!
Spring is just around the corner, which means it’s the perfect time to welcome some feathered friends into your backyard! This month, HomCo’s Young Builder project is all about building a Bird Feeder House—a fun, hands-on activity that helps kids learn basic woodworking skills while creating something useful for nature.
Whether your child is a seasoned Young Builder or brand new to the program, this project is a great way to get creative, work with tools, and take home a finished bird feeder to enjoy.
Step-by-Step: Building Your Bird Feeder House
Our bird feeder kit comes with everything you need to assemble your very own birdhouse-style feeder. Here’s what you’ll find inside:
- Two long, skinny side pieces
- Two pointed roof-support pieces
- One sturdy base
- Two roof panels
- 24 nails
- Hammer
Let’s Get Building!
Start with the Sides – Take the two long, skinny pieces and attach the pointed roof pieces to the top. Get your nails started by tapping them in just a little bit before hammering all the way.
Attach the Base – Once the sides are secure, it’s time to attach the base. Use three nails on each side to keep everything nice and sturdy.
Add the Roof – Before fully attaching the roof panels, tap your nails in slightly to get them started. Then, secure one side at a time.
Finishing Touches – Once everything is nailed in place, your bird feeder house is complete! We’ll even provide some rope in your kit so you can easily hang it outside.
Don’t forget to grab some bird seed while you're at HomCo—your new feathered visitors will thank you!
Join Us for Young Builder on March 15th!
Mark your calendars! HomCo’s Young Builder event is happening on March 15th at 9:00 AM. Bring your little builders in for a fun, interactive morning of hammering, assembling, and crafting.
Can’t make it to the event? No worries! If we have extra Young Builder kits available, just stop by the service counter and ask—we’re happy to provide them while supplies last.
See you at HomCo, and happy building!
