My inspiration for hosting a BEE Themed playdate came from my son's recent obsession with the book A Hunny, Funny, Sunny Day! by Bruce Talkington. So, of course that was one of the books that we read. We also read Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! by Bob Barner.

| We had toast with butter and honey on it as a snack. It provided a good opportunity to talk about bee hives, making honey and pollination. |
 |
| The boys made rolled beeswax candles and we were able to talk to them about the purpose of beeswax and the shape associated with a honeycomb. These come as sheets and you simply roll or fold and press, very easy for a toddler/preschool to do with some help. |
 |
| One of our activities was to paint a beehive and then made fingerprint bees. |
 |
| Had the rain not washed it away , this would have greeted our friends in our driveway. But it was a good jumping off point the evening before to start talking to my son about bees, so that bees were on his brain. |

What a cute idea! I love your sidewalk chalk art! I am pinning this so I can do this with my son. He loves bees and making buzzing noises.
