Items you will need:

• Paper plate

• Red paint

• Black paper

• Black pipe cleaner

• Glue

• Scissors

Directions:

1. Paint a regular sized paper plate red and allow to dry.

2. White the plate is drying, cut circles (or use a craft punch) from the black paper for the ladybug’s spots. Also cut a head from the black paper for the ladybug. Our head was rounded like circle on one end and resemble the side of a rectangle on the other end.

3. Glue the spots onto the painted paper plate. Glue the head to the back of the paper plate, so that the rounded portion of the head sticks out over the paper plate.

4. Fold a black pipe cleaner in 1/2 and attach to the back of the ladybug’s head. We used tape to attach it. Curl the ends of the pipe cleaner to make antennae for the ladybug.
