Bee in a Flower Garden

Celebrate World Bee Day with this cute craft! Discover the importance of Bees in our ecosystem as you learn about the ways they help flowers and crops reproduce by spreading pollen.
  • Step 1Download and print out the templates provided. We recommend printing onto cardboard as this provides a sturdy base for folding and decorating. You could use coloured cardboard or decorate using your favourite craft materials. Allow to dry if needed. Cut out the template pieces along the solid black outlines. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 2Fold the Stem template pieces to create a paper spring. Fold one side of the L shape along the grey dotted line over the top of the centre square. Repeat with the other side. Continue to fold both pieces of paper alternately over the centre square until you reach the end. Secure with glue and allow to dry.
  • Step 3Glue the bottom of the springs to the centre of the Base template and allow to dry.
