Birdhouse Project

Jeff and the girls building a birdhouse. We found this project after Jeff got the girls interested in building things by showing them a how to hammer a nail and screw a screw into a block of wood.

Goggles for everyone - safety first! No surprise, Vivian was the best at hammering the nail...watch your thumbs! Violet was very gentle, but precise.
