I’ve been brainstorming some Valentine ideas for my kid’s school and daycare and I had a lot of fun creating this “Bee” Mine Valentine. I got the idea from the Butterfly Valentine that has been floating {get it? hardy har har} around the internet for a while now. From that I thought, this sure would look cute as a bee, so that’s what I did!
Cardstock Hot Glue Pipe Cleaner Google Eyes Scissors Xacto Knife
DIRECTIONS:
Save the file to your computer and open it in Adobe Reader.
Print off the double-sided wings (optional – second side is all blue) onto cardstock.
Cut out the bee wings.
Using an Xacto knife, cut the slit marks.
Insert a lollipop, starting from the back.
Add google eyes and black pipe cleaner antennas and give this adorable treat to your Valentine!
I was out of black pipe cleaner so I used some wire and wood circles for the antenna. The above picture shows how the Bee Valentine would look if you used pipe cleaner – much easier and just as cute!
I left plenty of space for your child to write the “to’s” and “from’s” and even a little note, if desired. We chose to write it on the back, leaving the front of the wings blank except for the printed “Bee” Mine.
Won’t you “bee” mine?
I hope you enjoyed this simple printable Valentine! Do you make Valentines each year or are you more of a store-bought type? Either way, this is a fun and unique way for your kids to handout special treats to their friends and classmates this year!

Cute!! How did you attach the antennas?
Just a tiny dab of hot glue. I put it on the antenna first and then placed that on the top of the lollipop.
