Default 7 year old construction project (off topic, big time)

Because I have no talent at all when it comes to building things, I wanted to show you guys what my seven year old built this morning. Lowes sales junior tool kits and the Easter Bunny bought one for my oldest son along with some pre-cut materials to make this bird house. He had no help from his mother and me, probably because I couldn’t help him even if I wanted to.

Not bad at all! Keep him up with those hands on projects. College is great but, having a craft behind it only helps!
