Handprint Alphabet - B is for Bee (and "Biene") - Red Ted Art

Many moons ago, when my kids were very little (a toddler and preschooler) back in 2012! We explore the ABC with a set of Animal Handprint Crafts! Each week we did did a different handprint animal. It did take us the whole 26 week to complete the full set, but it was fun way to do a little extra craft each week. You could of course focus on your child’s favourite animals or you could write their name in handprint “letters” in one go.. or like us. Have a go at a different letter each week! Here is the Hanprint B is for Bee!!

Handprint Bee Craft for Preschoolers

A super fun project to explore the alphabet and a lovely little Bee craft for preschoolers. So cute! We particularly enjoyed the “free” painting session at the end.

Well.. we are back with our Handprint Alphabet – we got crafty and had a go at a “B” letter.. there is the classic Butterfly (to which Red Ted shouted “No”), there are Boats (tempted to use that as S for Ship), Books and all sorts.. but when I suggested “Bee”, Red Ted said “yes Mummy, let’s do a B, it goes like this” – showing me a butterfly.

I told him that that was a butterfly, would he like to do that instead? No. Honestly, preschoolers are such fun! Ha.

What I really like about our Bees, is that I had a very differetn bee in mind – you know – one seen from the side, with the wings on the top and only one eye visible… well, the children wanted both eyes and a nose! And Red Ted said – you need a wing on both sides! Pip Squeak said “no wings, Mummy, it isn’t a BIRD!”. I actually think her bees are little men and should be viewed perpendicular!!!!
