Build a home for the good bugs — and watch them move in.
The SparkJump Bug Hotel is part woodworking project, part backyard science experiment. Kids build and paint a real cedar bug habitat, fill it with natural materials, and hang it outside. Butterflies, bees, and ladybugs do the rest. It's a project that keeps giving long after the build is done.
What's Inside:
FSC-certified cedar. Outdoor-ready. Ages 8+.
Top quality product and excellent customer service.
Love the fact that its modern and fun to build. Cant wait to finish it and put it outdoor and get some visitors. Great price.
My 4 1/2 year old grandson had a blast building this with grandpa. The quality is great, all supplies provided except a hammer. Easy instructions with great illustration's. So much fun! I would recommend!
I was pretty happy with the presentation and instructions straight out of the box. I took some time to paint my pieces before putting it together, I think it came out so cute. My only complaint is that the hand screws suck and it took me so much time to find where they would actually hold up the birdhouse. I had to use a hammer to get them past the roof shingles. The window pieces and log stands are so cute I really had a blast building this.
So this actually was a bigger project than I thought it would be, and my partner helped me a lot, but I’m very pleased with how it turned out! The roof and floor we wood stained and I bought the fake succulents at Target as they were not included. I’m not sure I’d by this for a child younger than middle or highs school age, it personally felt like an adult craft.
Built this with my 9 yo grandson, he did most of it and I supervised. Looks really great and gave s good sense of accomplishment.
The first thing that caught my eye was the mid-century modern design of this birdhouse. I mean, where can you find that? We were sitting at the table and his mom promptly snatched this from my grandson saying this one is for me to do. The pieces are well cut, and the cedar smells the way cedar should. There are plenty of rocks to do the fireplace, and the instructions are really laid out nicely. This was a big hit, and I will try to remember to post pictures when it is done. It will be kind of hard to put it outside and expose it to the elements, because it is so cute. But it would be pretty cool to see a bird sitting outside this house.
Got this for my 7 year old - he built it with his dad. Directions were super easy to follow, and the glue that comes with this kit is “the best glue in the world” and is being saved to use for future projects/repairs. The birdhouse itself is amazing, nicely designed with really nice details and they give you great pieces of wood. Will put polyurethane on it to waterproof but other wise I would highly recommend this!!!
Bought it as a project to do with my elderly mother, loved the simplicity of the instructions, the presentation of the package, the organization of the contents, etc. They thought of every little detail. Only thing I recommend is having a battery operated screwdriver if you are disabled and can't use the regular screw provided in the box.
This is a beautiful bird house kit. Everything is included, including the sandpaper. All you need is a hammer! We didn’t need to predrill anything as it was already done, and we didn’t have any pieces split when assembling it. Exceptional quality cedar wood too. We enjoyed putting it together. Highly recommended!!
Very nice and sturdy. Easy to assemble.
I got this for my 5 year old son's birthday . He loves to build and make things so I figured this would be a great way we could build something together. He loves his bird house and wants to paint it next. I'm glad I bought this. I would recommend
Amazing kit. 9 yr old grandson and grandpa made this on a Saturday afternoon! The two were two peas in a pod..they loved the details and everything they needed was there. It was a great bonding experience and both had smiles from ear to ear..great memories just made!
This was a gift for a 6 year old, it was easy to assemble and was great quality!
Enjoyed assembly and results.
Everything you need to know before you build.
We recommend our kits for ages 4 and up. We highly recommend building alongside little ones — not just for safety, but because building together is half the fun. Our kits aren't just for kids either; adults love them too.
None at all. Every kit includes full-color, step-by-step instructions designed with young builders in mind. We also have how-to videos for each kit on our website.
Most kits just need a hammer — and we include all the nails, sandpaper, non-toxic silicone glue, and paint. Our Bug Hotel and Modern Birdhouse include everything right in the box, no extra tools required.
Most kits take 1 to 2 hours from start to finish. We recommend taking your time — careful sanding and painting make the finished project something to be proud of.
Yes. We use 100% FSC-certified sustainably sourced solid wood — no manufactured wood-like materials, no dangerous chemicals. All glues and paints included are non-toxic.
