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 into story time if you choose!
Just keep scrolling for the full how-to below and make it happen! Then when you complete the ladybug craft, snap a few pictures to share with us on our Facebook wall or tag us on Instagram. I wanna see how awesome your ladybug friend turns out! #gluedtomycrafts
PAIR YOUR LADYBUG PAPER PLATE CRAFT WITH —> Cupcake Liner Ladybugs
Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate {one plate makes TWO ladybugs at once}
- Red Tissue Paper
- Black/White Cardstock Paper
- School Glue
- Kid Friendly Scissors
- Hand-Held Office Stapler
Directions:
- First have your children cut their red tissue paper into small squares {perfect for practicing cutting skills}
- Take your paper plate and cut it into half. Reserve one for your ladybug craft and save the other for another day {perhaps even using it for our Paper Plate Umbrella craft}
- Now put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate half.
- Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until it’s completely covered.
- While they are working on that, cut out some ladybug features from the cardstock. Don’t forget about those iconic black spots!
- To finish off the Paper Plate Ladybug kid craft – simply staple on the cardstock pieces to their designated spots on the paper plate and display proudly!
