Trying to build a [birdhouse from scratch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwellings-project) may seem like a daunting project, but 'Nesting Box' makes the task much easier for people of all ages.

The kit includes all of the individual pieces needed for assembly, as well as a detailed guide that mainly uses pictures to communicate each step in the building process. Rather than having the feel of an instruction manual, the graphic guide is structured to read more like a fun comic book, which helps to reinforce that the craft is suitable for kids and adults of all skill levels and languages.

While there has been a huge surge in [DIY culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinkr), there is also a movement that's driving a shift from a do-it-yourself mindset to a do-it-for-me mentality. Kits like these help to satisfy both types of consumers.
