Styrofoam Bumble Bee

This is a cute little bee that is guaranteed not to sting! Kids can create this craft for the summer and can either hang it freely in a room or make a plant poke out of it and decorating summer flowers. Hot glue is quick drying and perfect for such projects. But to prevent injuries, children should only use hot glue under parental supervision. Otherwise, thick tacky glue should be used.
