Simple And Cute Popsicle Stick Bee Kids Craft

We have been going full steam ahead with Bee Crafts the last couple weeks. We started with our Paper Bag Bee, then had fun making Balloon Print Bees and yesterday I shared a cute Tissue Paper Bee. I’m not exactly sure why I love them so much lately…but I think they are adorable so why not?! Today I think I’ll finish off my bee obsession with this fun Mini Popsicle Stick Bee Kids Craft. So simple, colorful and so cute!

HOW TO MAKE A MINI POPSICLE STICK BEE CRAFT

Supplies you will need:

mini craft sticks (We received ours from Craftprojectideas.com and you can find them at your local Walmart in the craft section.)
regular sized popsicle craft sticks
black and yellow acrylic paint
paint brush
white cardstock paper
black pipe cleaner
googly eyes
tacky glue
tape

Directions:

1. Start by assembling the body of your bee. Use your tacky glue to make a line of glue along two regular sized popsicle sticks and line mini craft sticks all along them. (see picture below) Let the popsicle stick dry completely before moving on.

2. Use your yellow and black paint to paint a striped pattern along your bee body. Let the paint dry completely.

3. Cut circle wings out of your white cardstock paper. I folded my paper in half and cut out a circle shape, leaving the fold part intact.

4. Glue your wings to the back of your bee with your tacky glue.

5. Cut your pipe cleaner into quarters and use two of the sections for the antennae. Curl the ends over and then glue them to the back of your bee. I used tape to reinforce them while they dried.
