Ladybug Prints - by Allison Hahn

I love easy activities that can be modified based on your child’s skills. Toddlers will enjoy making ladybug prints. For preschoolers (and older), you can include counting practice!

Materials:
Sponges
Craft stick (optional)
Cotton swab
Washable paint (red, black, green)
Paint brush
Fork
Paper

 

 

Directions:
1. Cut your sponge into a round “beetle” shape. Optional: Cut a small slit in the top and glue in a craft stick to make a handle for your stamper.
2. Use a paint brush to apply red paint to the sponge. Gently place the sponge onto your paper to make a ladybug print.


3. Dip your cotton swab into black paint to add the ladybug’s spots. For older children, use this step to practice number recognition. You can write a number next to each ladybug and have your child add the corresponding number of dots!
4. Use a fork dipped in green paint to add grass to your artwork.


5. Once the paint is dry, you can use a marker to add more details to the ladybug.

We hope you give this Minibeast craft a try!  If you feel creative you can choose use several paint colors and sponge shapes for all kinds of minibeast shapes.
