Directions for LadyBug Craft

Have your child paint the Paper Plate Red.

While the glue is drying create the black spots to glue onto the ladybug. For older children have them cut out their own circles.

Also, cut 6 legs to glue onto the body.

Then cut out an oval for the ladybug’s head.

Use googly eyes or create your own eyes using white paper and black paper. Don’t forget to add your antennae!

The more original the better for each child!

You can attach it to a stick or place a paper across the bag so your child can hold it easier to create a puppet.
