Not only is this bee craft a great way to celebrate the beginning of Spring, but it’s a creative project to add to your bee or insect unit. Creating crafts can also be a fun way for kids to develop their fine motor skills, hand and eye coordination, muscle strength, and much more. These are important because when your kids have strong developmental skills, it will help them be able to hold a pencil, write, and even turn pages in a book.

How To Make A Craft Stick Bumble Bee:

As with all of our crafts and projects, adult supervision is required!

To begin making this Spring craft for kids, glue 7 mini popsicle sticks together.

 

 

Next, paint the popsicle sticks yellow and allow them to dry completely. After the paint dries, paint every other popsicle stick black and allow them to dry completely.

 

 

While the paint is drying, cut the flat part of a clean, plastic milk jug out. Next, draw a wing shape onto cardstock and cut out. Then, trace the wing shape onto the plastic and cut out. After cutting the wing out, repeat the steps above but with a smaller wing shape. You will want to reverse the wing shape for the other side of the bee.

 

 

After cutting the wings out, cut a pipe cleaner into 4 pieces and twirl the ends.

 

 

Next, glue the pipe cleaners onto the back of the bee. Then, glue googly eyes at the top of the bee.

 

 

After gluing on the antenna and eyes, glue the large wings onto the bee first followed by the smaller wings on top of the large wings. 

 

 

Finally, draw a smile with black and red paint pens.
