What You’ll Need for This Project
- Hammer
- Paint for Decorating!
Young Builder Kit:
- Front Piece: pre-drilled holes and the circle in the middle
- Back Piece: pre-drilled holes
- 2 Side Pieces: no holes
- Bottom Piece
- Longer Top Piece
- Nails
Step #1: Attach side pieces to front piece
Watch Marissa as she attaches the two side pieces without holes to the front piece with the circle in the middle. Push in the nails with your fingers and then hammer them in!
Repeat this process for both sides.
Step #2: Attach the remaining pieces
Watch Marissa as she attaches the bottom, back and top pieces. You’ll line up the holes, push in the nails with your fingers and then hammer them in!
Step #3: Paint and decorate your birdhouse!
Once you've constructed your birdhouse, it's time to add your unique style! Whether you envision a vibrant rainbow of colors, fun patterns, or a sleek, minimalist design, the choice is yours! So, grab your brushes, pick out your paint colors, and transform your birdhouse!
