Looking for a fun way to decorate your kids’ bedroom? Teach young children to make adorable DIY bees with this bee craft using old Kinder egg shells!

This bee craft is such a great way to use up Kinder eggs that you have no use for once the chocolate is gone (if you live outside US, as they’ve been discontinued). A great recycled project, using simple supplies that you most likely have around the house! Also a cute way to add more interest and a fun touch to a kids room.

MATERIALS:

Kinder eggs shells
Black chenille stems (I used silver and painted them black)
Glue
Black marker
Cutting pliers

DIRECTIONS:

Decide where you want the first black ring to fall on the bee’s body. Trace some glue and wrap the chenille around the body (a glue gun would work better but I did this with my daughter and didn’t want any hot glue around her). Leave a small area loose on the bottom so you can form the legs then twist the ends together on the top.

Make a loop at the bottom.

Split and press the loop in the middle with a thin object (I used a knife so be careful if using that tool too) to separate the loop in half and form the legs.

Cut the extra chenille stems and slightly bend the antennae at the top.

Repeat the steps for the other rings (I made 3) skipping the antennae part.
Draw eyes, nose and mouth on your bee, using a permanent marker.
