We read The Grouchy Ladybug and 10 little ladybugs since we are working with numbers.
Thought it would be fun to make something ladybug, so we did.
Materials:
Colored paint
String/yarn
Egg carton
2 wood sticks
Black puff paint (used for line and dots for ladybugs)
First I took the sticks and crossed them to make a X and tied the yarn around the center, second had J paint the ladybugs. Let them dry then we painted the stripe and dots with puff paint. Then I poked the holes on the top of the egg carton and pulled yarn thru.

What a cute idea! I love using recycled materials, and this turned out great. It looks like he had a great time making it. Thanks for linking up to The Sunday Showcase!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute! I'm always looking for ways to avoid trashing or recycling our egg cartons.....Ladybugs are a great option because the kids just LOVE them. They are obsessed with the way ladybugs protect themselves by emitting a smell...maybe we could spray some perfume on them? haha!
