Supplies Needed To Make This “Bee Mine” Bumblebee Valentine Craft
- Bumblebee Printable – click yellow button above
- Scissors
- Glue
- Markers
- Glitter (optional)
- Googly Eyes
Directions To Make This Cute Bee My Valentine Craft
Step 1
To help your little one with this craft, just print the bumblebee and cut the pieces out. Older kids can even do this part themselves.
Step 2
By using a dab of glue here and there, piece the bee back together. We used this time to identify the different body parts of the bee.
Notes:
Don’t worry if the bee’s stripes aren’t exact, or his wings are a little off-kilter. That’s what makes each bee unique and so much fun to see when it’s completed.
Step 3
Once he is assembled, glue a couple of googly eyes on the top. No googly eyes? No problem! Just draw some eyes on with your markers!
Step 4
After we finished, we decided to add a little sparkle by adding some black glitter to his stripes. This part is entirely optional, so if you’re not a glitter fan, don’t worry about using it!

This is a great way to work on hand-eye coordination, and makes it easier for children who have a hard time cutting and might want a break from it. Plus, what kid doesn’t like tearing paper? It’s fun!
