Mother's Day Directed Drawing and Art Project


Let's have a ha-bee day and wish our favorite people love on Mother's Day! Would you like to draw with us a beautiful carnation with some buzzing bees? Mum, mom, grandam, nan or aunty will love it!
  • start with a small dot and some jumpy petals


  • do 3 more rows of jumpy petals 


  • do another one or two rows of petals to your liking 


  • draw a stem and two leaves


  • draw some bouncy grass across the base 


  • draw an oval with stripes for the first bee 


  • draw details - wings, antennae, legs, stinker and face 


  • repeat for the second bee 


  • write a message that is perfect for your special person - like Ha-bee Mother's Day 
  • add some hearts too


  • now it's time to paint 


  • we used watercolor over our black sharpie 


  • we added some crayon detail 


  • darken the lines if you wish by re-tracing some in black sharpie 


We have a video for you to help demonstrate the steps to your students!
