Steps
Cut out the flower, the bee and the wings.
Trace the outlines onto card, as many times as you want bees and flowers. We made the bee's body from yellow card, the wings from green corrugated card and the flowers from orange card. You can do it your own way.
Cut them out again.
Colour the bee however you like. You can add black stripes across the yellow card. If you used white card, you can colour both the yellow and the black stripes with crayons.
Glue the eyes onto the bee's head with a little white glue.
Glue the wings to the back of the body.
With leftover card, cut long strips to make antennae. Glue them behind the bee's head.
Spread glue over the bee's body and sprinkle glitter on it.
You can stick a round sticker in the centre of the flowers. If you don't have any, cut circles from card in another colour, or white, and colour them however you like.
Spread glue over the flower and sprinkle glitter on it.
Make a hole in one wing with a pointed tool, thread the string through and tie a knot.
Can you think of a way to make a mobile with several bees to hang from the ceiling?
