Spring time is here bringing with it the blossoming of colorful flowers and busy little bees out and about to enjoy them. This paper bee craft is a fun way to bring some of the spring season indoors. Kids will love creating a colorful flower scene with busy paper bees buzzing around them to collect pollen. The bee wings popping off the page gives this simple spring craft a fun effect!

3. Cut out flowers and glue along the top of grass

Glue the paper bee bodies onto your light blue cardstock above the flowers. Then glue the wings in place on the top of the bee bodies.
