We used some scrap wood from the garage and followed a YouTube tutorial. It's not perfect but it's hanging in the backyard and we already got some cardinals and finches coming to it. My son checks on it like ten times a day. Planning to do more woodworking projects with him, this was actually fun.
Love it man. Getting him interested in nature and making something with his hands at the same time. That YouTube tutorial paid off.
This is the stuff right here. My kids still talk about the projects we build together even if they're rough around the edges. Birds showing up makes it even better.
That's awesome you guys built something together. Doesn't have to be perfect to mean everything to him. Memories like that stick with kids.
This is wholesome as hell. Those imperfect projects are the ones they remember forever. He'll think about that scrap wood and YouTube tutorial with you for years.
Best part about doing stuff like this is watching them get excited when the birds actually show up. Did you guys plan where you're hanging it?

Love this. We did something similar with my oldest and now she checks on it every morning. It's such a simple project but it teaches them so much about nature and effort.
