Lady Bug Collage Craft

Its spring time still and this is a great spring craft to do with your little one. Its a fun and simple lady bug collage

What you'll need:

Thick paper

Red tissue paper

Black paper or magazine cut outs

Glue

Scissors

1. Draw a lady bug with pencil on a thick piece of paper and then cut about 1cm around the shape. 
2. Rip pieces of red tissue paper and scrunch them into little balls. I had Emma help me with this part.
3. Cut 6 larger black circles for Lady Bug spots and 2 smaller ones for antennae.  We ran out of black paper, and we had no black tissue paper so we ended up using magazine pages with black print on them. 

Next is the really fun part.  Have your child put glue all over the lady bug.  She'd need to be supervised for this, or if its a small child you could put the glue yourself.

Glue the spots first.

Then glue the red tissue to the body of the Lady Bug.

Next come the rest of the black bits.

And voila! You're done! Its such a simple activity and its great to do as part of your Spring Time theme educational activities.

Emma wanted to put this on her wall immediately! We will, of course, as soon as its dry.

Have fun crafting!
