DIY Springtime Bee Snack Bags

by

Bee School or Party snacks are a fun way to present snack-sized portions of foods to kids at a party or in a lunch box. The pegs are re-usable too which means when you make them you can re-use them.

Supplies
– Black Construction paper
– Scissors
– Paint brushes
– Sticker Google Eyes

– Clothes Pins
– Glue stick
– 1/4 cup measuring spoon
– Sandwich sized zip bags
– Yellow and black paint
– Honeycomb cereal
– Teddy Grahams: Chocolate and Honey

Instructions
1. Paint the front of the clothes pins with the yellow paint. Set aside to dry.

2. Use the scissors to cut the black construction paper into skinny 1” pieces. These will be the
antenna.


3. Once the yellow paint dries, paint stripes with the black paint.


4. Glue the black construction paper “antenna” on the back of clothes pin.

5. Stick on the google eyes.


6. Using the measuring spoon, dump 1/4th cup of Honeycomb cereal into one side of the bag, and

1/4th
cup of Teddy Grahams into the other side of the bag. Press the bag flat to let the air out and
seal shut.


7. Fold over the zipper a couple times & pinch the bag together. Secure with the clothes pin.


8. Your buzzing bee snack is complete!

Cute Father’s Day Crafts Kids Can Make

Last year I wrote a bunch of posts around things to make for Father’s Day, from printables to hand print crafts and other crafts. But in case you need yet more ideas here are some more Father’s Day crafts that kids can make.

I’m not a fan of cliche Father’s Day gifts using tie motifs, fishing, grilling and the like, but if the dad in your life does happen to enjoy grilling, this painted grill caddy from Sustain My Craft Habit is a fun option. Buy a plain wooden caddy and kids can paint and decorate it to enjoy all summer long.

Picture frames and holders are always a great option. I love this painted rock and bead photo holder from Buggy and Buddy. Kids can paint the rock and string the beads, and choose a photo of themselves to put on the holder.

I also like this salt dough picture frame from The Soccer Mom Blog. It’s made in the shape of the word dad with holes in the letters for photos, but you could use the same idea to make a heart or another shape if you don’t need three openings.

Speaking of salt dough, of course you can use it for all sorts of crafts. Handprint and footprint crafts are lots of fun as a keepsake, and if your littles still have tiny feet, this salt dough footprint craft from Roaming Rosie is a fun project. Or make a bigger stepping stone footprint or handprint project with a stepping stone kit. I Watch Them Grow has the tutorial.

If your older kids are into string art, you can make a Dad themed project like this one from DIYnThings. If you don’t want to spell out dad, you can make a heart shape or some other symbol of your relationship with the dad in question. (Jump to about 1:53 in the video for this tutorial, or watch the whole thing for more crafty Father’s Day ideas.)

I also love this quick and easy building blocks gift from The Seasoned Mom. It gets kids thinking about things they love to do with dad, and offers options of things they can do together if they can’t think of what they want to do some future weekend.
