Supplies
- Colored cardstock (in yellow, brown, green and blue)
- Scissors
- Paper trimmer (optional)
- Glue stick
- Milk jug
- Black marker
Directions
Download the beehive template and print onto yellow card stock. Print out the leaves on the green card stock. Cut the pieces out.
Using scissors or a paper cutter, cut a long rectangle to make a tree branch. Cut a second, shorter rectangle for a descending branch.
Glue the tree branches and the leaves onto the top of the blue card stock.
Glue the beehive onto the tip of the descending tree branch.
Using the yellow paint and the sponge brush, make a few bees by dabbing the brush onto a piece of white cardstock. Let dry completely.
Make stripes on the bees by using the black marker to draw lines over the yellow paint circles. Add a smile on one side of the bee.
Cut out each circle to make the bee’s body.
Circle Sponge Paint Brush Pack
Cut out small wings for the bees with the scissors and the milk jug.
Glue the milk jug wings and the googly eyes onto each of the bees.
Position the bees in the area you want them on the paper and use the marker to draw a stinger on the back end. Glue the bee in place so the body lines up with the stinger.
With the marker, draw little legs beneath each bee.
Now you have yourself a cute bee craft your kids will love!
