Thanks! I was thinking I’d use cardboard for my little butterfly too. Will you sew the pom poms to the cardboard? I tried to make a magic wand out of an old wire hanger the other day with no luck. I love your flower idea. What do you use for the flower part?

I’ve been wracking my brain to come up with a great eco-friendly idea for you since last night. Unfortunately, I’ve got nothing very unique. My youngest is going to be a butterfly so we’re taking one of her older sister’s plain headbands and using strips of cardboard from an old box folded accordian-style and stapled on to the headband with recycled pom-poms from an old craft kit at the ends. Not very original, I know but everything else I tried (old wire hangers) was way to uncomfortable for her to wear. I’ve been lucky, though, since we have a LOT of hand-me downs to utilize and re-purpose. One of the benefits of having 4 kiddos I guess! I’m going to use the discarded wire hangers that didn’t work for antennae to make some simple flowers for her to attach to her treat bag though.

Yes I think we adults need to do a better job of teaching our children not to be afraid of bees (unless of course they are allergic.)

That crazy song could have something to do with why we start our lives so scared: “I’m squishing up my baby bumble bee, won’t my mother be so proud of me…ouch it stung me.”

Maybe we could change it to: “I’m growing sun-flow-ers for the bees. Won’t Mother Earth be so proud of me. I’m growing sun-flow-ers for the bees. Look they’re as tall as me.”

I’ve been aware of the decline in bees for awhile, and apparently it would cause a lot of harm to the environment if they went away. That doesn’t change the fact that I still get scared when one gets close to me, though.
