About This Coloring Page
The bee is the round striped one every child points at in the garden, and the page draws it on its way to work: a chubby bumblebee with two small wings and two curly antennae flying down toward one big open flower, the sun shining in the corner and a few clouds drifting past.
The body is one round shape already divided into bands, so a toddler can colour the stripes one at a time, and the flower is a ring of big petals round a circle. The wings and the antennae are the small careful parts, and the sun's rays are short lines to trace.
Ask what the bee is going to collect from the flower and what it makes with it. Then buzz across the room together, and the page becomes the garden visitor a child stops being afraid of.

How to Use This Coloring Page
- Stripe the bee first. One band at a time, two colours taking turns. Leave the wings for later.
- Then the flower. Each petal its own colour, or all the same, then the circle in the middle.
- Wings, sun and clouds last. The two small wings, the sun's rays, the clouds. Ask where the bee flies home to.
