Bees Buzzing Around Magnolia Branches in Spring

Four little bees with big round eyes, fuzzy bodies, and striped tails fly around a branch of magnolia flowers. The blooms have large, smooth petals with a few short lines for shading, and thin stems carry several closed buds that point upward. In the top left, a round sun sends out long rays from behind a row of puffy clouds, and another cloud drifts across the upper right. The picture works well for a free printable spring activity at home or in class. Try yellow and black for the bee stripes, pale pink or white for the petals, and a light blue sky. Kids can also count the bees and buds, then talk about how bees visit flowers in warm weather. The large petal shapes are easy for small hands to fill in, and the bees add small details for older kids.
