Bees are such an important part of the ecosystem. They help pollinate plants that we end up eating. Without bees, we would not be eating half of the food that is readily available to us now.
For this Valentine’s Day though, bees are taking on a different yet crucial role. This adorable and easy paper heart bee craft is going to help our kids express their love!
With heart-shaped wings and antennas, this Valentine bee is a fun activity to do at home or in the classroom with your little ones. Your kids can choose the colors for the wings and use their creativity to draw the face. There is nothing better to say “bee mine” on Valentine’s Day!
How to Make Paper Heart Bee Craft
List of Supplies:
- Free heart bee craft template
- Colored craft/construction papers
- Craft glue or glue stick
- Black Sharpie or marker
- Pencil
- Scissors
Instructions:
1. Download and print the free template. Cut out the patterns.
2. Trace the template patterns on colored craft papers. You can choose whatever color you would like. We used yellow for the body (square shape with rounded corners), black for stripes and antennas, and two shades of blue for the heart-shaped wings.
3. Cut out the traced pieces.
4. Glue the small hearts on the ends of the antennas. Glue the small wing hearts on the big wing hearts.
5. Glue the 3 wider strips horizontally on the bottom half of the body.
6. Trim the sides of the strips along the outer edges of the body. Glue the heart antennas on the backside of the head.
7. Glue the heart wings on both sides of the body.
8. Use a black marker to draw the face on the bee. You can draw a smiley face like we did, or you can go with a different expression.
9. Optional: Cut a small heart out of pink construction paper. Glue the heart to the body of the bee on top of the wide strips.
If you wish, you can even add Valentine’s Day bee puns to the small pink heart. You can write “bee mine,” “bee my love,” or if you can write small enough, “you’re sweeter than honey.”
And if you are making this bee craft with your kids just for fun, you can write “Always bee yourself” to remind your kid that no matter what, who they are is good enough.
