The Souls of Boys: Birdhouse Kits

I have hand picked some adorable birdhouse kits for boys of all ages and stages. Building a birdhouse gives boys a sense of accomplishment, satisfies their natural tendency to build and construct and encourages them to be creative as well. The birdhouse kits that I have selected will speak to the heart and soul of boys by allowing them to exhibit their compassion for other living things.

The birdhouse above is perfect for a boy who is too young to use a hammer and nail or for those boys who are more artistic and have less of an interest in carpentry. The thatched roof makes this one unique and especially attractive. It comes with paints so that your boy can add his personal touch and show off his creativity with pride.

The next birdhouse requires assembly and has pre-printed leaf designs. This one is perfect for a boy who enjoys building but doesn't enjoy painting and/or art. It is an easy to construct kit, but will need adult supervision and/or assistance. All of the kits that I have chosen are meant to be enjoyed with a loved one.

The last birdhouse kit that I have chosen incorporates popsicle sticks as the main building material. This kit is fun, educational and more suited for older boys. It comes with paint and a booklet that provides step by step instructions.

About The Souls of Boys

I am the mother of two boys. I have an MA in Education and a BS in Psychology. After completing research for my Master's thesis in graduate school, I was dismayed to discover the horrific, detrimental effects that violence (in all forms) has on the human brain, especially the brains of children. Violence (in all forms) literally causes brain damage. As a result of violence, violent play, violent video games, violent T.V. shows, stress hormones are released and the brain starts to rewire itself to form coping mechanisms that result in the numbing of certain parts of the brain associated with emotions and memory.

It is imperative that we take the souls of boys into consideration as we guide them along the path of living, learning and loving. As we look outward onto the world today, we can see violence in every direction and the majority of this violence is being perpetrated by boys and men of all ages. It is time to make a change and take a stand for our boys.

Being mindful and conscienteous about the stimuli that our boys are being exposed to is essential for the betterment of the future of humankind. They are BIG souls in little bodies that deserve to remain innocent for as long as possible. Violent toys, video games, T.V. shows and other forms of media, steals their innocence and teaches them (in small, subtle doses) that this is who they are on the inside and has a negative impact on their brains.

Boys have also been removed from nature, activities that instill a sense of purpose are nearly non-existant and toys that promote cognitive skills have been replaced with violent and/or nonsensical toys. Essentially, boys have been stripped from all avenues to connect to their own sense of curiosity and wonderment, leaving them with a false and superficial view of the world around them.

My vision is to help others nurture the souls of the boys in their lives. My hope is to help bring back the natural balance that boys deserve. I spend hours researching the best toys, books and media for the souls of boys. At "The Souls of Boys", every product is handpicked by me. I do not get paid to review products, nor do I get products sent to me to review. These are products that I believe in and would personally buy for my own boys. Check back often for more non-violent, non-toxic, soul centered toys, books, media and resources.
