National Trust Kids DIY Butterfly House Dana

Help your children connect with nature by building their own beautiful butterfly house. The house features pre-drilled holes for the nails and screws, so you don’t need special tools or a workshop — just a hammer and a screwdriver. All parts are custom made. The kit comes with clear instructions that are easy for children to follow, so they can take the lead with just a little supervision from an adult. Make your butterfly house extra inviting by placing a few twigs upright inside for butterflies to cling to and rest. Once finished, the house can be decorated with wildlife-friendly paint, stickers, or markers. Place the house in a sunny, sheltered spot in your garden and wait for the butterflies to arrive. Planting nectar-rich flowers will help to attract a variety of colourful butterfly species! The Dana Butterfly House Kit is part of our award-winning* kids wildlife range with the National Trust.
