‘Bb’ is for Bee {Craft}

I tried to find something fun to represent the letter ‘Bb’ for our preschool class and have to say that I am in love with this little bee.

I have to warn you though ~ if you use a foam sheet and a marker, the smudge factor will be involved. Fingertips will be black and marker color will spread like wildfire.

But the result is just so cute!! {dontcha think?}

What You’ll Need:

• Yellow foam sheet or construction paper
• Black sharpie or marker
• Wax paper
• Googly eye
• Black pipe cleaner
• Glue

How to make the ‘B’ Bee:

1. Cut an uppercase ‘B’ out of the foam sheet or construction paper. I used a foam sheet that was about 4″ x 5″ in size.
2. Cut out two circles from the wax paper to use as wings for your bee. {I used one black, one wax paper so the wings would show up for the pictures}.
3. Cut the pipecleaner into two pieces ~ one should be 1/3 of the length of the pipecleaner, the other 2/3 of the length.
4. Poke the small pipecleaner through the bottom base of the ‘B’ to use as a ‘stinger’.
5. Poke the longer pipecleaner through the upper part of the ‘B’ to use as the bee’s antennae.
6. Have your child draw stripes on the B using the marker.
7. Glue on the googly eye and wings.
