Buzzing Bees

Finger Print BEEs
by Sarah A. Keith

What you need: Washable black ink pad, yellow coloring pencil, black fine point marker, a card or paper with one or more of the Scripture references printed on it.

What you do: Have the children press their fingers onto the stamp pad, then press lightly onto the paper to make the bee body. With the fine point marker draw the wings, bee stripes, antennae, and face. Color in the tail and wings with the yellow pencil. Keep the card and memorize the Scripture verses!

Finger Print BEES Bible Point: God wants you to BEE-lieve in him, and trust him to take care of you! BEE-cause you are special to him! (See Psalm 139:1-16) Do you know that no two finger prints are alike! You are the only person on the face of this planet that has a finger print like yours! You are a unique individual. The Bible says, "For (God) created my inmost being; (he) knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise (him) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; (his) works are wonderful..." Psalm 139:13-14. God has made you for a very special purpose! You are unique and God loves YOU!

Buzzy BEE Pencil Topper

What you need:
1 yellow pipe cleaner, 1 black pipe cleaner, 2 tiny wiggle eyes, 1 pencil, tacky glue.

What you do:
Cut both pipe cleaners in half. Now you have four 6" pipe cleaners. Place one yellow and one black pipe cleaner together and fold in half to form a "V". Place the eraser end of the pencil inside the "V" and twist both pipe cleaners one time tightly around the pencil. Place the other two pipe cleaners together and wrap them tightly around the top of the pencil, and wrapping over the top of the "V" pipe cleaners. The ends of the "V" pipe cleaners will be sticking out over the top of the eraser. The black "V" pipe cleaner forms the antennae. Now fold the yellow "V" pipe cleaner down and around to form the wings. Glue the wiggle eyes to the bee's body.

* When you write with your Buzzy Bee Pencil, be reminded that God wants you to BEE-lieve in him and BEE his faithful follower!
