Grafix Make Your Own Mosaic Birdhouse Kit

This item is a 'Make Your Own Mosaic Birdhouse' craft kit manufactured by Grafix. The kit comes in a rectangular cardboard box, predominantly white with colorful graphics on the front. The design showcases a completed mosaic birdhouse, featuring vibrant colors like red, yellow, and blue, adorned with green and yellow mosaic tiles, and a blue flower motif. The box clearly states 'MAKE YOUR OWN MOSAIC BIRDHOUSE' and carries the Grafix brand logo in the upper left corner, which is a stylized 'Grafix' with a rainbow colored swish. It is labeled for ages '6+' and indicates 'ONE SET'. The kit includes '1 GLUE - NET 0.17 fl oz (5 ml)' and '3 PAINTS - NET 0.17 fl oz (5ml) EA'. A 'CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.' warning is prominently displayed. There are also images of what appear to be the 'colorful mosaic tiles' included in the kit, which are green. The overall condition of the box appears new and unopened, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or repairs, indicating it is in original retail condition. The design suggests a child-friendly craft project, likely involving pre-cut wooden or cardboard birdhouse pieces to be assembled, painted, and decorated with mosaic tiles. The craftsmanship is designed for ease of use by children, focusing on creative expression rather than intricate, fine art techniques. This kit is indicative of a contemporary craft product, likely produced within the last decade.
