Beetle & Bee Paint a Bird Bistro - DIY Kid Art Craft Outdoor Birdhouse Kit, Bird House Painting Kit for Kids, Hardware & Glue Included- 4 Paints, 1 Brush, 7 Wooden Pcs, Age 5+

I bought a few of these and I’ve been letting my toddler paint them when we do arts & crafts. We are gonna put a weatherproof clear coat on top when they’re done, and I plan to give them to grandparents as gifts for the holidays! Great quality, sturdy, and no assembly required. Such a sentimental gift and my toddler loves doing it!

I gifted this birdhouse to my husband on fathers day to put it together with little ones. They had a lot of fun! I think it's a great craft for the team building.

Great item and quick delivery

I'll preface this review by stating I'm a childless adult and amateur woodworker who bought this item as a fun, quick project to decorate my garden. The pieces were in fine condition and well-sanded. I started by painting the pieces and gave a quick coat of water-based sealer then started assembling. I ignored the included glue and used wood glue (I have tons) and starting assembling based on instructions. The real pain began when I tried using the included nails. It was a pain to get the holes lined up and I just stopped trying; I figured the nails would hold fine enough even if the holes weren't perfect aligned. The nails went fine through the pilot holes but started bending like crazy when not lined up with the holes. I ended up having to pull up the glued down pieces and starting nailing each together one by one, then (after throwing away a couple bent nails) started pounding nails into a single piece until the end poked out and trying to line up with the holes on the next piece. I'm honestly surprised this is meant for kids (even if a parent is supposed to help with the nailing) because it's incredibly frustrating to put together. If you want to build a birdhouse kit a child can put together, you'd be better off creating the pieces like the parts of Ikea furniture, with lots of dowels and cam bolts, or even tabs and holes in the wood for a perfect fit, that could be glued and perhaps reinforced with nails. I'm planning on finishing the kit and hanging it up, but I think within the next year, I'm just going to build a birdhouse from scratch using better hardware.

Built this with my 6 year old daughter. She had a blast. It was a little tricky to do the roof and chain even for me.

Rather than getting the grandparents more things they don’t need, our son is painting these to give at Christmas. What grandparent wouldn’t want a functional art piece from their grandchild?

Good project, easy to assemble. Chain doesn't always stay on to hang bird house up

Was a nice kit to do with the grandkids, but half the paints were dried up and unusable

No surprises, I think that this is super cute and fun for the kids to paint and hang up. Works perfectly and I thing that the price is worth it.
