Books About Bees
In addition to movies, I love to include a wide variety of books in my lessons. I use some for read-alouds and save others for independent reading (when appropriate).

Bee Happy Coloring Page
Give the bee coloring page to your kids to complete as you read aloud a book about bees.
Copy the Bee Pictures
Kids can practice their drawing skills as they use the grid for a fun copy-the-bee and copy-the-beehive activities.
Build a Honeycomb Activity
Print the honeycomb page on cardstock and laminate for durability. You may want to print multiple copies to have enough “cells” for the activity.
Use the next page as a template to build the various honeycombs. There are four different honeycombs to build. Or, kids can use their imagination to build their own.
Scissor Skills
Kids will start at the arrow on the left side of the page. They’ll cut along the dotted line from left to right.
If your kids aren’t ready for scissors, let them trace the lines from left to right instead.
Bee Mazes
Kids will complete the mazes included. This is a great way to strengthen motor skills and logical reasoning.
You can laminate this page and have kids use dry erase markers and use these pages over and over again.
Teaching Resources
This beautiful wooden honey bee puzzle let’s the child explore the wonderful world of honey bees.
You can add some plush bumblebee toys to your imaginative play area for kids to act out their favorite bee stories.
This collection of bee resources is full of my favorite things for teaching preschoolers about bees.
