Instructions for Making this DIY Bee Puppet Craft
1. Cut out two circles from yellow cardstock
Use your circle punches to cut out a 3-inch circle and 2 1/2-inch circle from your yellow cardstock.
2. Create bee face and body
Color in black stripes on the larger yellow circle for the bee’s body. Add eye stickers onto the smaller yellow cardstock circle and draw a smile with your black marker.
3. Make bee wings
Punch a hole in the top of your bee body. Cut off a section of white tulle, poke it through the hole in your bee body and tie a knot to secure it in place. Trim the tulle if necessary to make bee wings.

Finish your DIY bee puppets by taping a paper straw onto the back of the bee. Now your bee puppets are all ready for play!
