B is for Bumblebee

Both Issac and Annabelle are enjoying doing the crafty alphabets, after we had done for the letter ‘A’ and ‘a’. Every night if possible we tried to make a fun craft out of the alphabet letter. Here we come to letter ‘B’. Again, it is from the totally tots.

 

What You Will Needed:

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

How to Make the Bumblebee:

1. Cut an uppercase 'B' out of the foam sheet or construction paper. The original suggested to use a foam sheet that was about 4" x 5" in size. But Mummy just using the construction paper.
2. Cut out two circles from the wax paper to use as wings for your bee.
3. Cut the pipe cleaner into two pieces ~ one should be 1/3 of the length of the pipe cleaner, the other 2/3 of the length. Mummy did a little changes here as using the black colour ribbon, as our house do not have the pipe cleaner, and I feel more safer using the soft ribbons as the pipe cleaners sometimes can be very sharp.
4. Poke the small pipe cleaner through the bottom base of the 'B' to use as a 'stinger'. Same as here too, change it to the small black colour ribbon.
5. Poke the longer pipe cleaner 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.

Both were so amazed when seeing their bumblebee really flying. Belle using her black pen scribbles on the rest of the paper, making the bumblebee really busy and dizzy…
