From The Educator’s Spin On It: The GROUCHY LADYBUG Activities

The story we’re reading is The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle.
I’m sharing with you 4 Ladybug Themed Activities that work well for siblings to do together!
We’ll create a Ladybug Puppet for Retelling the Story, a Ladybug Clock, a Ladybug Story, and Ladybug Animals Cards Game for Retelling!
Let’s get started!
Supplies Needed
- Black Paper (spots & legs & head)
- White paper
- Paper Plate or Round White Paper (body)
- Red Paint
- Paint Brush
- googly eyes {optional}
- Glue
- scissors
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.
Now you’ve created your very own Ladybug Puppet to Retell the story!
Have a little extra paint red paint?
