An Adorable Kid’s Valentine Buzzing with Delight
Valentines usually go hand-in-hand with treats, so we came up with this adorable way to gift some handheld candy for the occasion! Lollipops are so easy for a sweet valentine, and dressing them up is really simple with a little bit of paper. You can craft enough of these bumble bee valentine lollipops for the whole class in under an hour, and you only need a few basic materials.
Tools & Materials
- Scissors or Cutting Machine
- Low Temp Hot Glue Gun or (Double Stick) Tape
- Lollipops
- Black Tissue Paper
- White Cardstock
- Black Washi Tape (optional)
Steps
- Download the printable valentine file below. Use the PNG file with a cutting machine, or the PDF if you are cutting by hand.
- Print the valentine and trim, or use the print then cut feature with your cutting machine. If you are cutting by hand, you can use a craft knife to create the slits in the bee’s body.
- Cut a circle of black or yellow tissue paper to cover the lollipop.
- Cover the lollipop, gather the tissue around the stem, then wrap a pretty black washi tape down the stem to secure the tissue.
- Fill out the valentine and slip the lollipop through the slits.
- Use hot glue or tape to attach the bumble bee face and enjoy!

When I upload to my Cricut machine, the images are huge. What size do you recommend?
Our bees were around 4.75″w X 4.35″h.
I’m not getting a downloadable png file? I get a page with two bees but no option to download. Doesn’t seem to look like your normal files for Cricut.
Some web browsers default to open the image in a page, as opposed to downloading to your computer. If that’s the case, just right click and “save image as…” then choose a location to save it. We normally include SVG files for our Cricut projects, but because this is a Print-then-cut, it needs a PNG file 🙂
Thanks!
