DLTK's Holiday Activities for Kids
3D Bumblebees Paper Craft
This is a cute, simple paper craft that results in a 3D ornament you
can hang around the room.
Materials:
- printer
- paper
- scissors
- something to color with (if using the B&W version)
- hole punch
- string, thread, ribbon or wool
- Optional: thin cardboard

|
Instructions:
- Print template of choice and color as necessary
- Cut out the template pieces.
- Fold each piece in half (on the dashed line) so they are all colored on
both the front and the back.
- Optional: Put thin cardboard in between the front and back of each
template piece to make them a bit sturdier.
- Glue together so the pieces are colored on both sides.
-
3D Bumblebees:
- Cut on one of the dotted lines of each template piece (only cut as far
as the dotted line goes, not all the way through the piece).
- Slide the pieces together, top to bottom

- Glue a piece of ribbon, string or thread onto the top (or hole punch a small hole and tie a ribbon
through). If you hole punch, do it through the bee that is cut from
the bottom, not the one that is cut from the top.
-
Beehive:
- punch three holes in the bottom of the beehive template (one in the
center and one on each edge)
- string one bumblebee through each of the holes so it hangs down from
the hive
- punch a hole in the bottom of the middle bumblebee and string the
fourth bumblebee through that hole
-
Optional:
- print as many copies of template 3 as you like and keep adding
bumblebees to the bottom of the other bumblebees and the hive to make a
very busy beehive!
- 'numbers practice' -- count the bees
- 'colors practice' -- color the background of each bee a different
color.
