Heart Templates

These printed onto black and yellow cardstock make the CUTEST Valentine's bumblebees. Embellish how you desire to add a face, antenna etc. Easy enough for KINDERS! Here is one of my lesson plans:

Bee my Valentine

Details: Kindergarten

Objective: Students will create a heart bumblebee. 

Standards:

CR.1.K.1 Engage in exploration, imaginative play, and self-directed play with materials (e.g., art-making tools and materials, found objects) 

CR.1.K.2 Engage in creative art-making through imagination and/or guided observation (e.g., leaves as collage medium, mark-making)

CR.2.K.1 Experiment with various media using grade-level appropriate elements of art and principles of design drawingpaintingsculptureprintmakingmixed media

CR.2.K.2 Utilize traditional and/or new media and tools safely and appropriately, with guidanceconservationnorms

P.6.K.1 Discuss the manner in which exhibited art communicates ideas

Assessment: Students will self-assess based on the given example. Then I will assess each bumblebee as I write the student’s name and smiley face on the bee. 

Methods and materials: Students will create a bumblebee by cutting out yellow and black hearts, layering hearts, gluing them down, and adding a face/ their name with sharpies. These are super cute on a classroom door with a bee hive or on valentine’s bags for their party.

Extension ideas: Include informational text read-aloud about bees to bring in Science, Vocabulary, and Literacy. There could also be a writing piece to go with this project.
