Eli's Birdhouse

My friend had sent Eli this kit where he put together the birdhouse (with help of course).
Then he got to paint it however he wanted.
They only gave these tiny pots of paint though so there was not enough of red or blue. Luckily we had extra red so that was fine. We had to buy more blue and I had bought the wrong paint from dollar tree. It was eating through the other paint and wouldn't cover the wood. So we bought the good stuff from walmart, and finally he was able to finish painting.
He wanted to paint white stars all over the birdhouse, but we got these shiny confetti stars that came out of these confetti fireworks (the ones you pull the strings and confetti pops out). So we glued those all over the birdhouse.
So yeah, this is the finished project! He did a good job, I think. What do you think?
If you were to paint one yourself, how would you paint it?

@MommyOfEli2013 I’m glad too. Kids need to know they can do things.

Glad you like it, he has been obsessed with the flag/4th of July theme so he wanted to do something with those colors and stars.
One painted with little flowers sounds nice! I wouldn't have thoughted to do that myself.
I never painted one myself, but probably would have just been painted in rainbow colors lol!

The work of painting the birdhouse that Eli and his helpers looks wonderful. I would paint a birdhouse with the colors of the American flag as well.

Eli is very talented that is a great-looking birdhouse, I hope birds come to enjoy it, My favorite color is purple so I would probably just paint it purple,
