Up Close with Bees

In this activity children investigate the features of bees and how bees use these features. Younger children begin by sharing what they already know about bees and then look at and discuss flashcards of bees. Children can then make bee finger puppets using a template. Older children begin by looking at flashcards of bees and then participate in a game where they take on the roles of bees collecting pollen to bring back to the hive. This activity is designed to help connect children to the wonders of the natural world through sensory and play-based learning.
