Crafting Stories - Bee and Me

We read the story "Bee & Me" and made a cool bee to go with it!  We love this story around here because it talks about how bees are good and that we should be kind to them!

Book: Bee & Me

Materials:

  • Yellow construction paper
  • Black construction paper
  • Wax paper (from the kitchen)
  • Yarn
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick
  • Tape
  • Template (here)

 How to:

  • We cut out the body of the bee and traced it on yellow paper. 
  • Then we cut out just the middle section and traced it on black paper.
  • Next, cut out the antennas and trace on black paper.
  • And we cut out some rectangles for strips.
  • The wings are cut out of wax paper.
  • The kids assembled the bee by looking at a sample and using a glue stick.
  • Then they drew on some eyes.
  • And we punched a hole with scissors in the middle and added a piece of yarn, taping it on the bottom.
  • Now - you have a bee you can fly!
