This is a build-it-yourself bug hotel: the SparkJump Bug Hotel Woodworking Kit. Kids sand, glue and screw 12 pre-cut cedar pieces into a house with compartments of different sizes, then add a cedar shingle roof and paint it.

Fill the compartments with the included bamboo tubes, holed cylinders, mini pinecones and mulch, and set it outside. It gives solitary bees, butterflies and ladybugs places to nest and shelter. A good first woodworking project to do with a child, with an adult helping on the sanding.
