First things first, if you haven't already, print out our free "bee happy" file {listed above in the supply list} on a single sheet of colored cardstock paper.

Use a yellow crayon or marker to color in the beehive in the printable. Set aside.

Next up - trace your child's hand on the yellow cardstock paper.

When done tracing, trim it out with your paper scissors.

Use the black marker to draw on stripes for the bee.

Out of the remaining black and white cardstock, cut out a head and wing shape for the bee.

Set those aside.

Now you are ready to assemble it all together.

Start off by stapling or gluing the head shape to the handprint cutout with the black stripes.

Follow that by adding on the wings.

To finish off your Paper Bee Keepsake, adhere the handprint bee shape to the center of the colored in beehive.

Then display your paper bee happy beehive masterpiece proudly for ALL to see!!
