Fuzzy Bumblebee Nestled in a Cluster of Blossoms

A fuzzy bumblebee sits in the middle of a crowded cluster of large open blossoms. Its body is filled in solid black with a few thin white stripes near the back, and its two wings show a fine net of vein lines. Around it, the flowers overlap one another, each with rounded petals and a center of thin stamens topped with tiny dots. A few leaves with parallel vein lines peek out at the left and bottom edges. Because the bee is already black, you can leave it as is or add yellow to the stripes. Try coloring the petals in soft pinks, then use a darker shade near each flower center so the layers stand out. It also works well for a quick talk about how bees visit flowers. This free printable gives plenty of room for crayons or colored pencils.
