Project Instructions:
- Cut the paper plate in half.
- Trace the two pieces of plate on red construction paper. These will be the wings of the lady bug.
- Flip paper plate pieces over so the bottom is facing up. Glue the red construction paper to the plate pieces.
- Draw an oval on your black piece of paper and add your antennas to the top. Cut it out.
- Draw some circles on your black piece of paper. These will be your ladybug spots. These can be different sizes and that's okay!
- We are going to put our wings together now. Put a little bit of glue on the front at the top of one wing and overlap the top of the other wing. Press together and allow to dry.
- Glue the ladybug circles to your wings.
- Turn the wings over and place some glue on the bottom of the ladybug head. Place your ladybug head at the top of the wings.
- Take a little bit of leftover black paper and place the ladybug on top. Trace the opening in between your wings onto your sheet of paper (this will be a triangle shape). Now cut out.
- Apply glue to the sides and top of your triangle, flip your ladybug over to the back again and glue into the middle.
- Draw 6 ladybug legs on the black construction paper with your pencil. Cut out.
- Flip the ladybug over (white side up). Glue 3 legs to each side of the plate.
- Use glitter glue to make eyes on the head of the ladybug.
Now your have your very own lucky lady bug!!!
