Paper Plate Bee Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate

  • Yellow Craft Paint
  • Darice Foam Paint Brush
  • Darice Kid’s Craft Scissors
  • Black/White Cardstock
  • Darice Felties Felt Glue
  • Stapler

Step 1. First grab your large paper plate, paint brush and yellow craft paint. Squirt a small amount of yellow paint in the center of the paper plate. Hand over the paint brush and have children paint the entire paper plate completely yellow.

Step 4. Now it’s time to add pom pom stripes to your paper plate bee craft! Go ahead and put thick lines of glue on the paper plate. Have children place their black pom poms on the lines to create the iconic stripes on the bee.
