Summer Camp At Home Craft: Make and Paint Birdhouses for Kids

Sometimes the most fun craft to make is the one that is the easiest on you….  the Mom. Here's how we made birdhouses for kids:

We purchased these birdhouse kits online from Oriental Trading Company at the bargain price of $14 for 12 of them. They were so easy to snap together, although we did add a little glue just to provide some additional stability.

The kit contains three different styles of birdhouses, and since there were a dozen of them, each of my kids were allowed to assemble two birdhouses. I think they looked really nice even in this natural wood state.

We painted the little houses using dot sponge brushes and acrylic paints that we already owned.

I love how they turned out….. and I think that they look fantastic hung in trees all over our yard!
