Potato stamp bee craft supplies

• Potato (cutting knife and board)
• Yellow paint (or any color you want for your bees)
• Black marker and/or fine liner
• White paint (marker) for the eyes
• White paper (preferably thicker paper)
• Plate for the paint and a sponge to apply the paint

Step-by-step craft instructions

Step 1: Gather the craft supplies.

Step 2: Start by cutting your potato perfectly in half. You must make a clean cut to ensure your stamp works well. You can use different sizes and shapes of potatoes for the other bees.

Step 3: Take a small plate to apply the paint. With a sponge, apply the paint on one half of your apple till your apple is nicely covered in paint. Don’t use too much paint because you want a lovely clean stamp. You can use washable paint (recommended when working with small kids) or acrylic paint (for the best coverage). First, make a test stamp on a piece of scrap paper.

Step 4: When you´re happy with your test stamp, you can stamp your potato on your white paper. You can use multiple colors or keep your potato stamps one color. If you switch color, you can easily wash your potato in the sink, dry it carefully with a paper towel and use it again.

Step 5: Let your potato stamps fully dry before we decorate them.

Step 6: Draw the stripes of your bee with a black marker or fine liner. You can make different bee stripes (see photos), thick, thin, zigzag, wavy, etc. It´s fun to mix it up!

Step 7: Now your need two tiny wings to fly. Draw them with a fine liner and color them light blue with watercolors or a pencil (optional).

Step 8: Give your bee four tiny legs and a stinger on the back.

Step 9: Last but not least, give all your bees silly facial expressions. You can also use googly eyes.
