Pool Noodle Bumblebee Craft for kids

This Pool Noodle Bumblebee Craft for kids requires just a pool noodle and a few common craft supplies to make. This is a fun and frugal bumblebee activity.

This fun and frugal Pool Noodle Bumble Bee Craft for kids uses just a pool noodle and a few common craft supplies to make an adorable pool noodle bumble bee craft.

Here are some of our fun pool noodle crafts for kids that we have created in the past. Who would have guessed that there are so many ways to use pool noodles? This pool noodle bumblebee craft is the perfect example of what you can make from a pool noodle when you get a little creative. Your children can make their own pool noodle bumblebee with just a few basic craft supplies when they follow the tutorial below!

Pool Noodle Bumblebee Craft Project

Supplies needed:

  • Yellow pool noodle
  • Black craft foam or paper
  • Googly eyes
  • Pom pom
  • Serrated knife
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue, glue gun

Pool Noodle Bumble Bee Craft Supplies

Directions:

1. Begin by cutting the pool noodle into a 3-4 inch segment. The serrated knife makes nice and easy as well as even cuts, so I advise using one!

2. You can now use your black craft paper or foam to create the details. I freehanded a pair of wings as well as antenna and the stripe around the front of the bee. For wings, you could easily cut out heart shapes if they are easier and use those, and for the other two accents just use strips.

3. Set the accents aside and add the face of your bee. We glued on two googly eyes as well as a pom-pom for the nose.

4. You can now glue on the accents such as the wings and antennae.

We just folded the edges of our wings over and added glue, then pressed them to the pool noodle to make them stick.

Your pool noodle bumblebee is now complete! See how easy that can be? This would be a perfect craft for children’s parties or anytime you need something to beat summer boredom.

    It’s so cute. I want too make a whole hive of them. That would be great for the 3 girls that live here and fight like wild animals because they’re so scared that one gets more than the other. Thanks for the adorable project. You hit this one outta the park. God bless.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
