The Science Mouse

by Bug, age 3 (with a little help from her mother)

We went to Home Depot to build a birdhouse.  This is how I did it.

First, I opened the package.

Then I hammered the side to the front of the birdhouse.

Then I hammered on the other side.  My brother is working on his birdhouse next to me.

Then I used a screwdriver to screw on the bottom.

Then I put on the plastic back of the birdhouse.  The plastic back lets you see in to see the birds.

I used wood glue to put a board on top.

Then I had to twist in special screws.  It was hard.  I couldn’t do it and needed Daddy’s help!  The special screws are so I can hang up my birdhouse.

I did it!  I nailed in the nail by myself and my birdhouse is almost done!

I just had to glue in the perch.  That is where the birdies will land before they go in their house.

Then I wiped the glue off the perch.

I put the suction cups on so I can hang up my birdhouse.

All finished!  I liked peeking through the back.

I hope a bird builds a nest inside so we can watch it raise its babies.  I hope they will be comfortable in my birdhouse.  I like making birdhouses!
