Paper Plate Ladybug Craft Idea For Spring

Paper Plate Ladybug - Kid Craft Idea For Spring

Red Ladybug Craft Made From A Paper Plate

Happy Thursday my crafty friends! I got another easy spring themed kid craft to share with you all today and this one is just as easy & inexpensive as my previous kid friendly ideas {just how we like it around here on Glued To My Crafts!}

So before I “bore” you with useless big words and lengthy descriptions – I’ll get straight to the fun by introducing the tutorial for this Paper Plate Ladybug idea. All it requires is a large paper plate, red tissue paper and black cardstock. VERY basic materials you probably have on hand!

On that note, I just hope my post inspires and sparks tons of crafty time with you & your child today! I bet you could even tie this ladybug art project idea into story time if you choose! Happy crafting, my friends!
