Using paper party plates, hot glue 6 yellow plates in a pyramid pattern: 1 plate, 2 plates, 3 plates, stacked. Add a row of black plates with 3 plates along the bottom with 2 plates stacked atop the bottom plates. Then add a row just like this in yellow. Next, attach 2 plates in black with one plate atop and finish off the bee’s body with 2 yellow plates side by side.

Using a permanent black marker, make a cute little face on the bee. Attach 2 black pipe cleaners behind the face and bend the ends to look like antennae. Attach one black pipe cleaner on the end of the body like a stinger. Turn two plates over so the underside is showing and hot glue on turned-over plates for two little wings.
Affix bee to a door or walls using painter’s tape. Small 10-inch tissue fans with green crepe streamers as stems can be arranged to make a little flower arrangement beneath the bee.

Leftover plates can be used to spell out the saying of your choice. Cut a round circle from each plate and flip over so that the white underside is showing. Using markers, write one letter on each circle to spell out fun sayings like “Bee happy!” or “Spring” in multi-colors. Attach sayings to the walls using tape for a sweet way to send happy spring thoughts to everyone.
