Bees and Pollinators Coloring Book Prompts for Kids
Bees and pollinators are a spring science favorite, and kids are amazed to learn that many fruits need an insect's visit to grow. These prompts cover a honeybee's day for preschoolers, the many kinds of pollinators for 6 to 9 year olds and life inside a honeybee colony for older kids. Every fact is short and true.

A honeybee's busy day, one idea per page: 1. A honeybee flies out of the hive in the morning. 2. She lands on a flower. 3. She sips sweet nectar. 4. Yellow pollen sticks to her fuzzy body. 5. She carries pollen to the next flower. 6. That helps the flower make seeds and fruit, like apples and strawberries. 7. She flies home to the hive. 8. Bees build honeycomb with six-sided cells. 9. Bees turn nectar into honey. 10. The queen bee lays eggs that grow into new bees.
Why it works: Preschool teachers doing a spring insect unit want a friendly bee story with one clear idea per page, and it eases kids' fear of bees. Its short length is great for home printing.

Meet the pollinators and the foods they help grow: 1. What pollination is. 2. Honeybees. 3. Bumblebees can buzz pollen loose from tomato flowers. 4. Butterflies. 5. Moths visit flowers at night. 6. Hummingbirds drink nectar from tube-shaped flowers. 7. Some bats pollinate agave and banana flowers. 8. Beetles. 9. Flies. 10. Wind carries pollen for corn and grasses. 11. Apples, strawberries and pumpkins need pollinators. 12. Almonds need bees. 13. Plant a pollinator garden. 14. Leave clover and dandelions for the bees.
Why it works: Grade 1-3 teachers love a pollinator unit that links insects to lunchbox food, and it makes a strong Earth Day or spring science book. Its short length is great for home printing.
