Make this clever bee puppet so you'll have plenty of honey for a sweet new year! This is another terrific project from Susan of Suffolk Association for Jewish Educational Services.

You need:

• Yellow Paper Cup
• Yellow Plastic Spoon
• Black Pipe Cleaner
• Large Fun Foam Flower
• Yellow Felt
• Circle Stickers
• Black Vinyl Tape
• Red Permanent Marker
• Scissors

Instructions:

Cut the bottom out of the cup with scissors. Wrap vinyl tape around the cup to make stripes. Cut a small slit in the foamie flower. Cut yellow felt into a 1-1/2" x 6" rectangle to make wings. Round corners. Wrap the middle of the pipe cleaner twice around the middle of the wings and then around the spoon to attach the wings to the bee. Poke the pipe cleaner ends though the foamie flower and gently push the tip on the spoon through the slit. Make eyes with circle stickers. Draw on a mouth. Put spoon through the cut out bottom of the cup. Foamie flower should rest on the on top. Pop bee up to say "Shana Tova U'Metuka!... Have a Sweet New Year!"
