Easy Kids Crafts: Paint a Birdhouse

Fun Kids Craft: Paint a Birdhouse

We found an assortment of fun wooden birdhouses at Michael’s and knew we could do something colorful with them, maybe even make some cute gifts for teachers or the holidays.

The birdhouses sat in a box untouched for a while and then we moved them cross-country with us. As I unpacked them, my daughter and I decided it was time to do something fun! We decided to use up what we had in the house and as always, we had plenty of craft supplies. We took a couple of days to work on these, except for the solid-colored one, which Maggie painted in about an hour. This is one of those crafts that can be as simple or complex as you want!
