Butterfly 🦋 and Bee 🐝 Feeders! 💖 The weather has been glorious ☀️ where we are at the moment, so, it was time to take our home learning/crafts outdoors again! We decided to make these colourful butterfly and bee feeders to hang in the garden and around our bug hotel in the hope of attracting even more mini visitors. They were really simple to put together and a fantastic, combined; art, design and technology, maths, sensory and fine-motor skills activity for the kids. All you need is: 🦋 A plastic jar/coffee canister lid (ours were actually lids off some Betty Crocker cupcake frosting, I believe 🤔) - the brighter the colour, the better. 🦋 Some string or twine. (For an easier threading option than string, you could try substituting pipe cleaners/chenille stems instead and just twist them together, instead in tying at the top) 🦋 Pony beads (as little as 15/20 to as many as 100 per feeder...it’s up to you) 🦋 A Phillips Head screwdriver and a ball of Blu Tac or plasticine. (Or something similar, to make holes in the plastic lids!) They’re really simple and you can probably work out what to do just from the pictures but, if not, the full method is available in the original post on our Facebook page 💖 #threebeansplaytime #3beansplaytime #butterflyfeeder #beefeeder #butterfliesandbees #savethebees #kidscrafts #homelearning #homelearningfun #homelearningideas #eyfsideas #funkidscrafts #easycrafts #easycraftsforkids https://www.instagram.com/p/CB6u2Eqnz1w/?igshid=1serummltz44m
