B is for Bumblebee!

This was fun! The wax paper wings really make it believable. For this project you'll need a paper plate, black construction paper cut into strips, a black triangle for the stinger, yellow paint or markers, buttons, and something to use as an antennae.

Start by making the bottom of the paper plate yellow. We used markers. Paper plates really lend themselves to being painted rather than "markered" but, well, my kids were wearing white today. :P You could also use crayons, or decoupage like we did with the buckeye.
Then, glue on the black stripes. Older kids can cut the stripes themselves.
Add something for eyes. We used buttons, but googly eyes would have been cute.
Then, add the stinger. :)
And the wings. I highly recommend a grown-up cutting out the wings. Waxed paper is slippy stuff and very frustrating for a young one to try to cut.

Then, add the antennae. A pipe cleaner would have been really cute, but we are still out of pipe cleaners. So, I curled a narrow strip of cardstock around a pencil.
A buzzing batch of bumblebees!
