How to make your bumble bee cup craft

Download and print out the template. Cut the template out and set aside.

Cut a black cup straight up the middle. (refer to the photo). Cut the bottom from the cup.

Cut strips from the cup. (refer to the photo)

Glue the strips onto a yellow cup. (refer to the photo) Allow the glue to dry completely.

Trace the template onto cardstock or construction paper and cut out. Glue the black part of the head onto the yellow part of the head and then use scissors to trim off any excess paper.

Cut 2 circles from white cardstock and 2 smaller circles from black cardstock. Glue together.

Cut a small circle from red paper. Cut 2 small black strips from black paper and 2 tiny black circles. Glue the circle at the top of each strip.

Glue the eyes, nose and antantee onto the bee’s head. Use a black marker to add a smile to the bee’s face.

Glue the bee’s head onto the cup. Glue the smaller and larger pieces of the wings together. Glue the wings onto each side of the cup.

Once your Paper Cup Bee Face is finished, let your preschooler glue these onto your paper cup bee body, and glue on the wings (again you may wish to “pre cut” these for your child).
