A drawing of a bee, made with the help of an easy step by step tutorial.

You could have your students fill in labels on slow worksheets, OR you could have them learn how to draw a bee from scratch so they have to create all those body parts themselves. When they are asked to draw a "thorax" and "abdomen" themselves, they are much more likely to call up which function is which. That'south also true for recalling how many legs they have.

This bee also doubles as a good lesson in symmetry, as the right and left side should match each other. The thorax and abdomen are fairly like shooting fish in a barrel to do, but those bent legs are a little more challenging. If fact, if anyone is struggling with them, I recommend that the end feet are ignored. A leg with i bend will look but fine too.

Materials to Draw a Bee

  • Eraser. Large ones you tin can agree in your manus practice a much improve job than just the pencil tips.
  • Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens brand prissy black outlines, accept a skilful tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Apply them with good ventilation and add actress newspaper underneath to protect your tables.
  • Prang Crayons. These are a scrap softer than other crayons and so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice dark-brown shades that Crayola does not accept unless y'all purchase their larger boxes.
  • Crayola Crayons. The reliable make that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
