FREE Bee Template (Printable PDF)

This printable bee template is perfect for some easy to set up quick crafting with your kids!

This cute PDF is free to download and I’ll be sharing some ideas for how you can use it with your child as well.

For me bees are a reminder that summer is on it’s way. When I was a kid I used to be scared of them but now I’m older and understand more about the essential role they play for our planet I’m much happier to have them around.

Bees are a great topic for kids and they also fit in well with spring and summer topics for kids as well as the environment or learning about animals in general.

Of course the easiest activity that you can do is to use these as printable bee coloring pages for your child and simply grab some markers, crayons or coloring pencils and color it in.

This is always a popular idea with kids of all ages and it’s great as a quiet time activity too.

Torn Paper

For a simple craft idea you could use yellow and black paper torn into pieces and then glue them onto your template to color your bee’s body and wings in.

This is also a fun way to use up any old scrap paper, cardstock or construction paper that you have at home.

Drawing Prompt

How about adding a background to your template? Is your bee in a garden or in a beehive?

Finger Painting

For a super easy bumble bee craft you could color the bee in yellow and use finger painting or a cotton bud dipped in paint to colour the black stripes.

Don’t forget to color the bee’s wings too!

Tissue Paper

We love scrunched tissue paper as a fun way to decorate craft templates. Simply cover the template design with glue and then tear your tissue paper into pieces.

Scrunch the tissue paper into balls and then glue it onto your bee.
