The intuitive and kid-friendly Bug Hotel Woodworking Kit from SparkJump is a fantastic way to encourage engagement with the outdoors, develop motor skills, and build memories together! Building is simple with a little bit of adult help: sand the wooden pieces, use screws and glue to attach them together, customize with paint, and then wait for your first little bug guests. The wood is FSC-certified and weather-resistant, perfect for observing bug activity in all seasons. The hotel consists of one wooden structure with several compartments of different sizes, which can be filled with a variety of stuffing materials to create an ideal space for creepy-crawlies. Everything you need is included—12 pre-cut cedar wood pieces, cedar roof shingles, kid-safe wood glue, screwdriver, screws, 6 acrylic paints, 2 paintbrushes, and 4 stuffing materials designed to attract helpful bugs: large holed cylinders, bamboo tubes, mini pinecones, and mulch. Full-color, step-by-step instructions included.
