Creative inspiration – straight to your inbox!

If you’d love to be more creative, but struggle to find the time or that elusive inspirational spark, then Bumblebee is the answer.

Every Friday you’ll receive a beautiful Bumblebee email, full of mindful, seasonal ideas to inspire your own drawing, writing, making or doodling.

You don’t have to be an expert artist, simply be inspired and have a go – and then share what you’ve made in the Bumblebee Hive with your fellow Bees!

One Sunday each month, you’ll be able to join other members of the hive on zoom for a live ‘come and create’ session. Bring your current creative project, enjoy a chat with other Bees, and give yourself some time in the week just for you and your creativity.

So whether you dabble in doodling or painting, love collaging or quilting, or cooking up stories or poems – with Bumblebee you’ll always have a place to start.

We believe everyone is creative, sometimes you just need a little inspiration.

What our bees have to say

My boys always love it when the books arrive – yesterday they excitedly tore into the parcel! My 6 year old who usually strongly dislikes reading and I think is likely to be dyslexic as he finds it so hard – read the book sitting in my lap and to hear his belly laughs was wonderful. He absolutely loved it!

I am loving the subscription and even more so the surprise every month, so thank you for coming up with such a brilliant idea 🙂

Lovely order from Bumblebee. Such a fun and creative subscription. The quality of the books are excellent and so unusual.
AlisonMini Bee & Big Bee subscriber
We are recent recipients of a gift subscription and we are all really impressed with the quality of the books and the personal touch with the packaging. We all just wanted to say thank you – we’ll definitely be sharing your website!
ChristineMini Bee Gift
My mum LOVED her present – she said it is absolutely beautiful! Thank you! She keeps sending me pictures and she is over the moon with her notebook – she just loves it!
CorinneBig Bee Gifter
I just love the freedom Bumblebee gives, which encourages rather than discourages creativity. It comes with such personal touches, and gives a feeling of belonging to a group that really are interested and care. It was bought for me as a gift, and now I subscribe for myself and for my 13 year old niece. It is brilliant!
MandyBig Bee subscriber & Busy Bee gifter
My daughter really looks forward to receiving her monthly Mini Bee – from the moment the parcel arrives through the letterbox she literally can’t wait to unwrap it and discover what’s inside. She will first devour the book, and then look at the activities to see what takes her fancy. It’s an absolute joy to see her enthusiasm for it!... (1/2)

...The books we’ve had so far have are delightful. We have a lot of books at home but these have all been new ones to us. Each one has been beautifully illustrated, though provoking and with interesting themes. We have enjoyed reading them together at bedtime, and they are greatly suited to a young reader gaining confidence in reading independently. My daughter loves the creative prompts - especially the drawing, painting and cooking activities, but I think there’s something for everyone in there each month. It’s a brilliant subscription for children and makes an ideal gift. (2/2)
