These happy little bumble bees are sure to bring a smile to your little crafter’s face. These little bees were made from PIZZA BOXES! The grand kids loved each process in making them. They picked out buttons for the eyes, ribbon for the bows, and placed the rick-rack, wings, eyes, and stripes all by themselves!
Not only are these bees adorable, they make a great addition to your summer porch decorating!

Pizza Box Bumble Bee – Step 1
Start by cutting out two circles to make a snowman shape that also looks like a bumble bee. After that paint your bumble bee yellow.

Next add on two buttons to make eyes for your bee. Once you’re done that add rick rack diagonally so that they look like the strips of a bee. I know it can be very tempting to want to “fix” or “straighten” the parts of the bumble bee if your toddler puts it in the “wrong” place, but I encourage you to let them do it. They will eventually understand correct placement. But for now, let them place the parts where they feel it should go.

Now cut out some wings from the extra piece of rigged cardboard that you find in pizza boxes for your bumble bee. Then add a little smile for your bees face. Finally use the pipe cleaners to make antennas for your bee and glue on pom poms to the ends of them. Add a cute little bow on the neck of your bee and you are done!
