WORKSHOP FOR CHILDREN: Recycled Bees and a Beehive

MATERIALS:

• toilet paper rolls
• surprise chocolate egg capsules
• pipe cleaners (or a black marker)
• glue (hot glue recommended)
• yellow paint (tempera, watercolours, or spray paint)
• black marker
• string or wire
• scissors

INSTRUCTIONS:

• The beehive is made from toilet paper rolls cut and glued into hexagonal cells to resemble a real hive. The hexagon is the most efficient shape, as it allows bees to use the least amount of wax. Once assembled, paint the structure yellow.
• The bees are made from surprise chocolate egg capsules wrapped in pipe cleaners (or drawn with a black marker if pipe cleaners are not available).
• The finished decoration can be hung on a wall, window, or balcony.
