{October is National Bullying Prevention Month so we thought we'd bring you some different designs that you could use in your classroom or even school-wide!}

Simple to put together and with an important reminder for your students, this bee themed bulletin board opens up a great opportunity for introducing and discussing this important topic with your kiddos! While the original design features pre-fab bee cutouts, you might also consider a more hands-on approach, having your students craft their own bees for the board.

Bee Crafts for Kids

There are lots of bee crafts floating around on Pinterest. Here are a few of our favorites!

BEE A Buddy, Not A Bully!

• Background: Purple bulletin board paper (or another complimentary color of your choice).
• Title: "BEE A Buddy, Not A Bully!" - We thought it might be cute to set the title apart from the rest of the board, creating a honeycomb from yellow construction paper hexagons to accent the letters!
• Border: Complimentary patterned trimmer.
• Decoration: As they pledge to be buddies, not bullies, have your kiddos place their bee crafts (or purchased bee cutouts) around the bulletin board!
