It’s bee season, and this bee headband is a great way to start talking with kids about the importance of bees in our yards, the production of food, and the health of our ecosystems!
This spring paper crown is an easy project for toddlers and preschoolers.
The insect paper hat template comes with colored and black and white versions.
The colored template is great for a spring birthday party.
The black and white template makes a perfect spring coloring activity.
Let your child’s imagination soar while coloring the bee headband – a big, smiley bee with wings on the sides!

Why are bees so important?
Bees are necessary for the pollination of edible crops as well as flowers. Three out of every four bites of food we consume relies on pollination!
Bees are amazing in many ways – their brains are sophisticated despite being equal in size to a grain of sugar.
They live everywhere except Antarctica, and they have hairy eyes! For more information about bees, visit the National Wildlife Foundation.
