Use a bee to help the children develop awareness of their own bodies.
Resources
Cardboard tubes, buttons, glue, cellophane, yellow and black paint.
Step by step
* Paint the cardboard tubes in yellow and black stripes to resemble a bee.
* When dry, cut out cellophane wings and attach them to the body of the bee.
* Glue on two small buttons for the bee's eyes.
* Place your fingers in the bee and fly it about, landing it on different parts of the body as you say the following rhyme, (changing the body part each time).
A bee, sat on my knee, and said Buzz, buzz buzz.
Can you see me, can you see me (repeat)
* We would love to hear your tip ideas!
