Beehive Dramatic Play

Last week we took a walking field trip to learn about some local beehives. They were incredibly interested so I created a simple dramatic play center with hats, gloves, aprons  and beehives created from file folders, bubblewrap, and yellow paint. They had the most amazing conversations about the queen, workers, and drones. It fit right along with our shape study as the noticed my beehives had circular holes and commented that real hives are hexagonal!
