Ready to Bzzz!! Egg Box Bees

Hi everybody,

In this I'ble I will show you how to make bees out of egg boxes.

This is a wonderful activity I have with my sons. They enjoyed it a rainy afternoon!

To make those bees you will need:

- egg box

- metal wires recovered with fabric (sorry I don't know how to describe it, neither if it has a real name...)

- eyes (optional as you can paint them)

- paint (mainly yellow and black)

I have wires in 3 colors. I will use the blue ones for the wings, the black ones for the legs and the Brown ones for the antennas.

Wings: fairly easy, take the wires and make a 8 with it. You are done

Legs: cut the wires to have the appropriate length for the legs

Antennas: Cut the Brown wire in small length

Once done, let's start the body of our bugs

Take your egg box and cut it into 2 cells pieces. Those 2 cells pièces will be the bodies of our bees.

Paint it in yellow with black strings.

Ready to mount the bees!

Take your wires and bodies and be ready for the final assembly.

With a sharp knife or a small srewdriver, make 2 holes for the antennas. Put the Brown wires into the holes and glue them with hot glue.

Take the wings. Put a spot of hot glue between the 2 cells of the body and place the center of the 8 shape on it.

Make a U shape with the black wires and glue them Inside each cell to obtain the legs of our bees.

Paint or glue the eyes.

You're done.

Ready to bzzzzzzzzzz.!

Thanks for reading.
