Supplies:

* White/Red Cardstock
* Hot Glue Gun
* Glue Stick
* Sharpie
* Scissors
* Heart Paper Punch
* Wiggle Eyes

Directions:

* First turn your terra cotta pot upside down on a paper plate. Have your child paint their pot completely pink {or however they like!} Set aside to let it dry completely.
* While the paint is drying, trace your child’s hands on the white cardstock. Trim out. Add some red cardstock hearts on them. These are the Love Bug’s wings.
* Next get your glue gun hot and ready. Bend your pipe cleaner in half and glue it, along with some wiggle eyes and your handprint wings onto the terra cotta pot. Finish off with drawn on smile and any other embellishments if you like. Then display proudly!
