Directions:
* First things first – grab your cardstock card and draw a BEEHIVE design in the center of the card front.
* Next up – we are going to make our “stamp.” Grab a small piece of bubble wrap and cut it into a circle.
* Now squirt a SMALL amount of yellow paint on your small paper plate.
* Have children smear their bubble wrap {with the bumpy side facing the plate} in the paint a few times, making sure there is a thin layer of paint on the bubble wrap.
* Next have children “stamp” a few times their bubble wrap on the front of their card, right inside the bee hive design. Not to many times because you want to see the detail in the bubble wrap/bee hive.
* To finish off the Bubble Wrap Bee Hive Cards – use the marker {or stickers} to write out “BEE” mine, just “BEE” cause or whatever other punny BEE sentiment you like!
* Then set aside to let it dry completely before gifting away in an envelope!
