1. Cut out an oval shape from the cardboard. This will be the body of the bee. For younger kids, cut small slits into the cardboard so that the yarn won’t move while wrapping. Have the kids start wrapping the yarn around the oval cardboard.

2. After the yarn is wrapped you will add the wings. Cut two oval shapes from the newspaper. Before attaching, have the kids write the word “bee” on the wing. Younger kids can copy the word “bee” or for older kids, have them sound out the letter sounds and write on their own.
