I picked these little critters up at Michael's today. I am excited to give one (or two) to each of my students so they can have a fun way to work on finger strength. Believe it or not, even though they are small, the clothespin part is quite strong. I am planning to use one myself, especially for that pesky left hand pinky! I think they will be especially helpful for kids.
See? Little clothespins! They had all sorts of different bugs to choose from, but I decided that my students might like a pun to help them remember to use their bee. Oh, the price? I almost forgot. Only $1.50 :)

So cute! I just might have to check out Michael's for piano purposes:) Thanks for posting. I'm looking forward to more of 'em!
Michael's is an awesome place to get ideas....my mind just went crazy in there!
My students loved the bees, and were surprised at how difficult they are to use. I shy away from the bigger clothespin because it doesn't take as much precision and fine motor skills to use.
What a great idea! These bees are adorable- and a great deal too! Thanks for sharing :)
I was happy that they were "ready-made" for a good price. :)
yes- that makes it even better :) can't beat a good idea for a great price- and already assembled!
These are SUPER cute....thanks for the inspiration :) I'm adding a post about my clothespins project.
I keep a bee on my piano and use it myself for my 4th and 5th fingers before practicing. :)
