Ladybug Craft

One of the themes I am focusing on this month with Hailey is ladybugs.  We have read some ladybug books (She loves “The Grouchy Ladybug” by Eric Carle) and looked at pictures of ladybugs.  So, the other day we made a ladybug.

What you’ll Need:

  • Paper plate
  • Markers or paint  (I had planned to use paint, but we were all out of red paint I didn’t feel like dealing with the mess)
  • Black circles (I pre-cut these because Hailey is too young for scissors) and a face for the lady bug.
  • Glue
  • A cooperative toddler

 Directions:

Paint or color the paper plate.  Then glue on face and spots.  Simple!

 

 

The completed ladybug. 

Remember- when doing art activities with toddlers the process is much more important than the end product.  Hailey had a blast making her ladybug.

    This is so great!

    Mr Bump would love this but he’s 4 now and “a big boy” now.
    All that means is that he’ll insist on cutting his own circles, although they’re more likely to be anything *but* a circle…

  3. awwwww….i love this! super cute!
