Kids love the sense of accomplishment they get when they finish a project, especially when the project has practical purposes, such as housing birds and their families. There are a few kits out on the market with the sides and roof of the birdhouse cut out. All the child will have to do is fasten the parts together, do a little sanding and painting if required, and use a little imagination. There, ready for the next family of winged friends to roost!
