This craft transforms everyday items into a cute little bee. To create this bee, you'll need a wooden clothespin, yellow paint, a black marker, a coffee filter, a pipe cleaner, and two black pom-poms. Begin by painting the coffee filter yellow and setting it aside to dry. Next, paint one side of the clothespin yellow. Once dried, use a black marker to draw eyes, a mouth, and stripes on the clothespin. Gather the painted coffee filter in the middle and secure it with the clothespin to form the bee's wings. Cut a piece of pipe cleaner for the antennae, glue a black pom-pom to each end, bend it into a V shape, and attach it to the coffee filter.

This craft involves creating two pom poms: one for the bumblebee's head and another larger one for its body. The body is crafted by wrapping yellow and black yarn around your fingers in alternating sections to form the bee's stripes. After tying and trimming the yarn to achieve a neat oval shape, the head is made similarly using black yarn. The two pom poms are then glued together. White tulle is used for the wings and attached to the body, while black pipe cleaners are its' antennae. Googly eyes are added to the face to finish off the craft.

This craft is a great way to introduce children to the fascinating world of bees and their intricate honeycombs. Using the provided templates, kids can color the honeycomb in a golden hue to mimic real honeycombs.

After coloring, they cut out the bumblebees, assemble them by gluing the sides together, and attach the wings. Once the bees are ready, they can be added to the honeycomb, which is then glued onto a black sheet of construction paper for a striking contrast.

This craft is a good educational tool for teaching children about the structure of beehives and the role of bees. It's an ideal project for a unit study on insects.

This one transforms a simple piece of paper into a bee-themed bookmark. Starting with a square of yellow paper, children can follow the origami steps to fold it into a corner bookmark base. Once the base is formed, additional features like black paper strips for stripes, white paper for wings, and drawn-on eyes and antennae bring the bee to life. This papercraft is perfect for young readers looking to add a personal touch to their books and get them excited about reading.
