Let’s make a honeycomb using bubble wrap today 😀
Honeycomb
Paint a piece of bubble wrap
Place the painted surface down on a piece of paper
Paint your thumb and stamp all over as the bees

Now comes the fun part. Mix some paint with PVA glue.

Hold the paper up and see the paint mixture flow creating honey in the honeycomb 😀
Optional : I cut some ovals out of yellow foam and get the kids to paste them onto the honeycomb. Paste plastic wings too.
We ate some lala (a type of shellfish) the other day and instead of disposing the shells, we made butterflies out of them 😀
