Cardboard Bees

Get your creativity buzzing with these adorable cardboard bees wrapped in yarn.

This post is in collaboration with Pandie! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Niko and I had fun creating these cardboard bees over the weekend. We used Maped color’peps oil pastel gifted to us by Pandie to color the bees. The color pastels gave a vibrant color to our bees. We then wrapped a black yarn around the bees and used black pipe cleaners for the antennae.

Now that warm weather is around and the flowers are blooming, this adorable bee craft is the perfect project for preschoolers.
