Build a strong bond with your child as well as a traditional bat house by assembling this Coveside Bat House Kit together. Offering bats a roosting spot can help bolster their populations, which aids in both pest control and pollination. The precut, pine panels, weather resistant screws and nails, and sturdy hanger make this a great beginner building project, honing both carpentry and fine motor skills. Once completed, the single chamber accommodates up to 12 bats, and black netting on the back panel makes it easy for them to grip it. The rough hewn pine boards also encourage gripping, and the sloped, overhanging roof directs water away from the chamber. Step by step instructions with images guide you in assembling the nest box, and an included, large hanger aids in placing it against a flat, vertical surface. For a different option, add an adapter to the item for displaying on a pole. Its pine construction celebrates nature and provides durability, and acts as a blank canvas for a child to paint or decorate. Encourage a love of all animals and nature crafts in your child with this Bat House Kit. Assembly required. Made in the USA.
