How do I transition outdoor 8-week-old kittens to an indoor home?

Question

How do I introduce 8 week old kittens that were born outdoors and have never been indoors to a life inside our home? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 5 days old | 0.05 lbs

I would probably start by confining them to one room of the house while they may still be becoming accustomed to being indoors and litter box use. Be sure they have plenty of places to hide and also areas to climb like a cat tree or shelf. Also I would recommend a Feliway diffuser in the room which can be calming to many cats!
