The Mom I Want to Be

 

Yellow foam sheet or construction paper (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.)

Black sharpie or marker

Wax paper

Googly eye

Black pipe cleaner

Glue

 

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.  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}. Cut the pipecleaner into two pieces ~ one should be 1/3 of the length of the pipecleaner, the other 2/3 of the length. Poke the small pipecleaner through the bottom base of the ‘B’ to use as a ‘stinger’. Poke the longer pipecleaner through the upper part of the ‘B’ to use as the bee’s antennae. Have your child draw stripes on the B using the marker. Glue on the googly eye and wings.
