Striped Bee Buzzing Past With Curly Antennae

A cheerful cartoon bee floats through the air with a big round head, two curly antennae topped with loops, and a happy smile. Its eye has a little heart-shaped look, and a few freckle dots sit near its cheek along with two small nostril dots. The chubby body has bold stripes, and two pointed wings stick up from its back, each with a thin inner outline. Curly legs dangle below and trail behind, ending in small hooked feet. The thick outlines and large open areas make it easy for small hands to color. Try yellow and black for the stripes, then use a pale blue for the wings to leave a bit of white shine. This free printable also works well for a quick lesson on insects, counting stripes, or talking about how bees fly.
