 | 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.
