B is for Bee Craft: Lately we have been working our way through our letter of the week crafts. While I am not personally a fan of focusing on one letter for an entire week, these simple crafts are a ton of fun for getting kids exploring letters.

There are many ways this craft can be done, so don’t feel like you have to follow these instructions to a T. We used construction paper when doing our craft because Meatball is all about working on his scissor skills. Other alternatives could be paint and cardstock, washi tape, or even glue and pom-poms.

Items Needed for an Uppercase B Craft:

  • Construction Paper
  • Glue
  • Sharpie
  • Scissors

2. Cut your shape out. An adult may need to do this. The easiest way to go about it is to punch a hole in the center and cut from there.

B is for Bee Finger Plays and Songs:

Five Little Bees:
One little bee flew and flew.
He found a friend, and that made two.

Two little bees as busy as could be–
Along came another and that made three.

Three little bees wanted one more,
Found one soon, and that made four.

Four little bees, going to the hive,
Spied their little brother, and that made five.

Five little bees working every hour–
Buzz away bees, and find another flower.

Buzzing Bees:
Bees, Bees, Bees, Bees
Buzzing in bushes and buzzing in trees
Buzzing around, wherever they please
There’s nothing so sweet
As sweet as a honey bee.
