Directions:
Here’s how to help your child create a wonderful torn paper ladybug craft for Mother’s Day:
- First things first – download and print out the FREE provided “for the lady I love to bug” ladybug printable listed above, on a single piece of white cardstock paper.
- Have kids color in the “head and small triangle” in the ladybug design. They can use any type of coloring material and/or colors.
- Next up, help your child cut/tear their RED construction paper into small pieces.
- Now have them use school glue to glue those pieces inside the “ladybug” design.
- The final step is to have kids black coding dots for the ladybug’s spots {you can also have them use black craft paint and their index finger instead!}
- When they are done decorating, allow the finished design to dry completely before gifting.
- Be sure to also snap a photo and share it with the hashtag #GluedToMyCrafts or tag us to showcase their “BUGGY” artwork. We’d love to see what you create!
