3-D Ladybug

Directions

1. Trace a small or large plate onto the red paper
2. Cut 4 equal sized slits on the edge of the circle towards the center (think of a clock— cut a slit at 12, 3, 6,9)*
3. Fold the cuts inward to create a “bowl shape” and staple them together
4. Trace the same plate on a piece of black paper
5. Cut the black circle in a little less than half, and then cut a moon shape along the straight edge of the circle (this is the head of your ladybug)*
6. Glue the head to the 3-D red body
7. Glue googly eyes or white paper circles on the ladybug’s head
8. Cut and paste 5 or 6 black circles on the body of the ladybug for spots*

*Adults should help young children with these steps
