19 Bumble Bee Painted Rocks to Keep Busy

You asked for it, so we delivered. Beecause of popular demand, here are the best bumble bee painted rocks that kids and adults will enjoy making.

We can learn a thing or two from bees. They’re one of the most hardworking creatures on Earth. Bees are diligent and serious when it comes to work because they start to serve their colony at the young age of 12 days up until their death.

Learning about bees by doing these painted rocks will inspire kids that no matter the age or size, we can all contribute to the welfare of our community. Plus, bees also play a huge part in the preservation of our planet.

Let’s give these tiny heroes the recognition they deserve and start doing these easy bumble bee painted rocks with the kids.

Your kids will be grateful for these fun Thanksgiving sensory bin ideas.
