Bee Craft - Symmetry Art for Kids Instructions:

STEP 1: Get your bee printable.

Before you get started on this bee craft scroll down to download our bee template and print it out. Once you have it, cut out the shapes. (If your kids are too young, help them with this step.)

STEP 2: Prep the paper pieces.

Trace and cut out the wings onto white paper and the head onto black paper.

STEP 3: Painting time.

Fold a small piece of white paper in half. Paint horizontal stripes one half of the paper with yellow and black paint. (Check the image as a reference!)

STEP: Magic painting trick!

Now carefully fold the paper over and gently let the paint  squish onto the other side. This will create a cool symmetrical imprint, making the bee's body. Allow the fresh paint to dry entirely.

STEP 5: Trace and cut.

Once the paint has dried trace the body shape template onto your symmetry art and cut it out.

STEP 6: Putting everything together.

We're getting closer to the finish line! Now you just need to glue together all the pieces to make this cute bee craft. Gluing them onto a blue background works well.

Once you have glued all the pieces together complete your bee craft by making a small stinger from the same black paper you used to make the bee's head and glue it onto the bee. 

Add googly eyes and use a red pen to add a smile and a black marker to draw the bee's antennae.
